Draft:NewU University

  • Comment: Hi. Great to see they had a feature in the Washington Post. The Hechinger is just a reprint of the same article, so it doesn't count towards getting a Wikipedia article. The Spanish language one also appears to be a press release or promotional piece.
    If there are other feature pieces, like the Washington Post article, about NewU, feel free to improve the article. But, with what you have presented thus far, it is WP:TOOSOONfor NewU to have its own Wikipedia article. The other sources you presented outside the Washington Post article are not usable.
    I hope you will consider improving existing Wikipedia content about other subjects of interest!
    If you have any questions please ask them at WP:TEAHOUSE.

  • Comment: "The Canadian News" is not a reliable source. "Yahoo.com" is just a republished press release. -Liancetalk/contribs 00:21, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: All the sources cited are primary, and therefore cannot establish notability per WP:GNG / WP:ORG (and the Forbes piece doesn't even mention the subject). DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:06, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

NewU University[1][2] is a private not-for-profit university in Washington, D.C. The university, founded by Stratsi Kulinski.[3], is licensed by the Washington D.C. Higher Education Licensure Commission.[4] NewU offers three years[5] bachelor's degrees in Psychology & Human Behavior, Entrepreneurship, Creativity & Innovation Leadership, Sustainability & Climate Change, and Computer & Data Science[6]. The university welcomed its first freshmen class in Fall 2022[7], the first class is due to graduate in May 2024[8].

Name Controversy

edit

In May 2023, an unrelated institution, the University of Idaho[9] created an entity to purchase the University of Phoenix[10] and named the entity "NewU, Inc."[11] NewU University reacted with a claim for trademark infringement of its registered trademark "NewU Inc."[12] This led to the change of the name of the newly formed entity[13], but the matter of monetary damages or inter-institutional collaboration is still open[14]. The naming issue brought into question the whole purchase[15] of University of Phoenix for $550 million.
