Heff0045 has a massive conflict of interest

I noticed the suspicious edits on this page and realized heff0045 is a UMN student email ID. A quick search via the [U's public directory](http://umn.edu/lookup?SET_INSTITUTION=&type=Internet+ID&CN=Heff0045&campus=a&role=any) shows this account belongs to a Communications Associate in the Office of University Relations for the UMN Twin Cities. You cannot get a more blatant WP:COI than a subordinate of the subject whitewashing with her edits. All are highly suspect and should probably be undone. --198.228.228.172 (talk) 18:54, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of "Criticism of Palestinian Activism" section

Dhdarren is insisting that this article include a one-paragraph section titled "Criticism of Palestinian Activism." The paragraph in question:

Kaler has attracted criticism for his opposition to student government resolutions aligning with the BDS Movement at both the University of Minnesota and Case Western Reserve University. In response to CWRU's Undergraduate Student Government passing a resolution calling for investigation into whether the university has financial investments supporting violence against Palestinians, Kaler sent a university-wide email condemning the resolution as "profoundly anti-Israel and profoundly anti-Semitic." Kaler's letter provoked responses from the student body and the Council on American-Islamic Relations^[1].

As written above, this material doesn't appear to meet WP:DUE: There is nothing in this paragraph about this one incident that makes it of sufficient, lasting importance and impact to include in this encyclopedia article. ElKevbo (talk) 21:04, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
