Merge[edit]

I added a merge tag suggesting that History of Canadian University College be merge with Burman University.Catfurball (talk) 15:07, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 18:03, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the merger, as it unnecessarily weights the article towards history. The article was already weighted towards history before the merger, it didn't need this. Furthermore, the history of Canadian University College article was unfinished, so it weights the history towards the earlier years of Burman University. I left this feedback on the previous merger page at Talk:Canadian University College. NorthernFalcon (talk) 20:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency?[edit]

It strikes me that "independent" and "publicly funded" are contradictory. And "publicly funded" seems at odds with the later sentence "Burman University is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada.[10][15]". JGDove99 (talk) 12:10, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The province of Alberta funds most "independent schools" to a partial extent, compared to public institutions, which are funded completely by the province, but also answerable completely to the province. Independent institutions that do not qualify receive no funding whatsoever. Hence, Burman is a "publicly-funded" institution that is also "independent."
