==Farrell's murder==
In my opinion Farrell's murder should not be included in this article. Wiki should not crimes committed on campuses unless there is something special about the university that made the crime happen. I see that Verbal has also removed the disputed section. ] (]) 00:05, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Generally speaking, this page needs a lot of work. A good start would be increased vigilence against ego edits, vapid celebrity mentions, and other fluff that regularly make their way into this article. The insipid Omarosa incident I just removed is a case in point; in the school's illustrious history there have been hundreds of more significant events than some kid throwing water balloons at a very minor, fleeting celebrity. The article is crying out for a Rowan grad, professor, or other expert to take watch, make more sensible content decisions (three paragraphs on its historic party culture and none on the world-class Engineering school?), and generally make the article more worthy of Rowan. Any takers? 71.125.152.10721:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Well as a graduate of GSC/Rowan, I can tell you that the social climate was a huge part of the college's overall image reputation at the time. It was classified as a party school by every guidance counselor in the state during the 1980s and even had full page Budweiser ads in the Whit around the time of Spring Weekend. There may be some who wish to sweep this well-known part of the school's history under the proverbial carpet, but that is a slippery slope that cries of censorship and revisionism, especially since the current President has made strides (and succeeded mind you) to change the reputation of GSC/Rowan from "It's there, it's cheap, and you're never too stupid" to what it is today. How can you report on where you are or where you are going, unless you are honest about where you have been? The transformation of GSC/Rowan is a remarkable one, but you cannot deny the past in the process. That is not to say it should be the primary focus of the article, but it should be there. I agree with you that there should be some expert guidance, especially regarding the engineering program, as well as other highly touted programs such as their business school to be more informative and expansive. One final note on notable alumni/historical events. This is probably the one section with the highest amount of contention. It is difficult to keep this into perspective and needs regular editing to ensure that vandalism is prevented as well as the inclusion of obscure and insipid entries. One thing I'd like to get an opinion on has to do with a notable event but not using the typical definition. I don't think many people know or remember that a GSC/Rowan alumni won a Student Emmy Award in 1990 for the documentary "What Jeannie Didn't Know" about the coed from Lehigh University who was brutally murdered there. The student and his team were able to get exclusive interviews from Jeanne's parents, something 20/20, 60 Minutes, or any other news program failed to accomplish. The end result of the documentary was that Jeanne's parents formed an organization dedicated to increasing awareness of security issues at universities. It culminated in the Jeanne Clery Act, which was signed by George H.W. Bush in 1990, which worked to improve security on college campuses all across the country. That is something very notable and I feel should be mentioned as it had far-reaching implications and came out of a highly touted and respected Communications program. It may not be the only award-winning product to come from a student or group of students, but it is notable and worthy of inclusion. Staypuft9220:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
