On January 27 CollegeMeltdown added "Purdue Global's student body in 2020 included about 7000 servicemembers and 5000 veterans." Citing https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=purdue+university+global&s=all&id=489779#service. This is an inaccurate representation of the source material. The source cited reports the number of students who received benefits from the Post-9/11 GI Bill and DoD Tuition Assistance during the 2018-2019 academic year, and does not accurately reflect the 2020 student body. Also, this NCES source is not reporting those who receive benefits from the Montgomery GI Bill or take into consideration the transfer of these benefits to family members.
On February 1, the same user added "In the February issue of Emergency Medical News, two doctors questioned the vetting process of Purdue Global's emergency nurse practioners program, a program that reportedly admitted all 500 applicants." Citing https://journals.lww.com/em-news/Fulltext/2021/02000/After_the_Match__Boosting_Profits_Drives_NP.6.aspx. This is factually inaccurate and a misreading of the source material. Purdue University Global does not offer an emergency nurse practitioner program. See source: https://www.purdueglobal.edu/degree-programs/nursing/
I will also alert this editor on their talk page ( User talk:CollegeMeltdown) requesting corrections or removal. Ewqwdqemdh ( talk) 23:48, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
I would like to propose the merger of the articles on Purdue University Global ( /info/en/?search=Purdue_University_Global) and Kaplan University ( /info/en/?search=Kaplan_University) into a single, unified article. The reason behind this proposal is that both articles essentially represent the same institution, with Purdue University Global being the new name and continuation of Kaplan University after its acquisition by Purdue University. In the interest of providing clear, accurate, and comprehensive information to Wikipedia users, it would be more efficient and appropriate to have a single, merged article that reflects the entire history and evolution of the institution, instead of having two separate articles that may cause confusion.
To ensure a seamless merger of the two articles, I propose the following strategy: Article Title: The new article should be titled "Purdue University Global," as it is the institution's current name and branding. This decision is in line with Wikipedia's naming conventions, which generally prioritize the most recent and commonly used name. Lead Section: The lead section should provide an overview of the institution, including its current status as Purdue University Global, its history as Kaplan University, and the acquisition by Purdue University. History Section: The history section should comprehensively cover the timeline of the institution, including the founding of Kaplan University, its growth and development, the acquisition by Purdue University, and the subsequent rebranding to Purdue University Global. This section should provide clear context and continuity between the two stages of the institution's existence. Academics, Campus, and Student Life Sections: These sections should be updated to reflect the current information about Purdue University Global, incorporating relevant information from the Kaplan University article as necessary. Criticism and Controversy Section: This section should include any controversies or criticisms related to both Kaplan University and Purdue University Global. Presenting this information in a single section ensures that readers receive a balanced perspective on the institution's history and practices. References and External Links: All references and external links from both articles should be combined and properly cited in the merged article, ensuring that all information is verifiable and properly sourced.
I kindly request feedback from the Wikipedia community regarding this proposal. If there are no major objections within a reasonable timeframe, I will proceed with the merger as outlined above. If there are any concerns or suggestions for improvement, I am more than happy to collaborate and make necessary adjustments to ensure the best outcome for the Wikipedia community and its users. Thank you for your consideration. Ushistorygeek ( talk) 22:12, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
It appears as though a potential COI user is attempting to update the Purdue Global logo on this page. That attempt was removed by another user and I am not necessarily opposed to that but it does appear as though the current logo on the page is not up to date. This isn't my expertise, but I would think a COI user actually may be one of the only users that can make such a change given that they are likely to be the one who owns the rights. As such, should we permit this change? Does anyone have any expertise on this matter? JA1776 ( talk) 16:07, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
