The research area list is too long, it can benefit from a smaller chic list. Kmouly ( talk) 01:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
[[User:Jmmason|of topics and fields is so diverse. The "top 5" claim was provided without citation (which violates Wikipedia standards), and almost surely is based on rankings of "library and information science" programs which is a proud but small component of SI's academic and research coverage and faculty specializations. Not a meaningful statement for most of the school (other areas of which many informally believe rank in top 3), and implicitly misrepresents the school as being primarily a traditional LIS program, which it is not. I would also suggest that this is the type of claim that is likely to lead to edit wars when students from other programs see it and want to compete; better just to avoid poorly-grounded and self-serving boasting.
The image Image:Umichigan color seal.gif is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

There are some factual inaccuracies on this page. I am currently employed by UMSI, so I am reporting them here rather than making the edits myself to avoid WP:COI. Issues and citations are provided below:
Thanks! Elplatt ( talk) 16:14, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
The structure of this article could be improved:
First, History is conventionally the first main section.
Second, the degree sections could be combined into a single "Degrees Granted" section to improve the readability and organization of the article. Elplatt ( talk) 22:12, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
