Untitled[edit]

In response to some of the concerns below, I've add information to include the recent "no confidence" votes at SLU. ----

This artilce needs at least SOME information about the controversies Biondi has been involved in, including

I agree - I've placed an NPOV notice on the Biondi page, and I hope somebody else can help me with updating it. We should deal primarily in factual information in these articles, not SLU PR B.S. --Joefrank 22:53, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've now edited the page to eliminate the most egregious boosterism. Maybe others can suggest more neutral commentaries on the pros and cons of the Biondi administration.

--Joefrank 22:58, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I put the NPOV back up since the boosterism has returned since Joefrank removed it. I'll do my best to find some good controversy stuff as per discussion here, and to remove unsourced information that's quite obviously more PR than encyclopedic. 165.134.194.139 (talk) 21:34, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article Error[edit]

There seems to be an error under section 'Tenure at Saint Louis University'. It states: "On September 1, 2013, Biondi stepped down as president of Saint Louis University following his public admission in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of having retaliated against outspoken faculty by cutting their pay increases.[6][7]" There was no such admission cited in either of the referenced articles.
