Though I know nothing about this, and in fact very little about NCKU (hence looking on wikipedia) the section of the article about "human rights record" appears to be a very minor aspect, and considering how little else there is in the article, it seems debatable as to whether it is worth including. To begin with the title seems inappropriate - it would appear to be about an employment dispute, a title mentioning human rights gives the impression academics had been torturing its students or some similar grave crime, not simply sacking a teacher, regardless of how unjust said sacking was. That the section is littered with files and non-standard references just gives the impression that this is a personal attack, rather than the proper encyclopedic work required. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.134.168 (talk) 00:49, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have already removed this section several times, and have just done so again. The person who repeatedly added it is clearly not a neutral party, and I have explained to them that the sources they are providing are inadequate--Jac16888Talk00:58, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Traditionally, the College of Engineering is the largest engineering college in Taiwan and espouses a vision of contributing to the industrial establishment and economic development of Taiwan.[1]
Reasons for removal:
The sentence is not backed by a reliable source. The cited source is published by NCKU itself. WP:UNIGUIDE states that "special care is required for citing self-published sources, such as information about a college/university published by the institution itself or written by its paid staff: the cited information must... not involve claims about third parties." The claim that the College of Engineering is the "largest" constitutes a claim about the size of other colleges of engineering. For this to be allowed, it must be backed by a reliable, third-party source.
The "largest" claim is too vague for Wikipedia standards: largest in which terms? largest campus? largest student body? largest ego?
The "vision" is equivalent to a promotional mission statement / goal and therefore is not appropriate. See WP:UNIGUIDE: Avoid mission statements and goals. They are generally promotional.
