I decided to add this section as Hofstra seeks to potentially open a medical school (they are currently 'exploring it") and host a presidential debate. These are two important (potentially landmark) decision the school is taking (which will costs millions of dollars) and I feel a section informing people of these undertakings is needed.--] 14:16, 6 September 2007 (UTC) |

The site should have more information regarding programs, rankings, etc |

Hofstra introduced the Lions in 1987, but they weren't made official until July 1, 2005. How should that be listed? MBisanz |

==Honorary Degrees== |
|
|
I added this section as I saw that many other colleges/universities included it in their wiki page. |

== Notable alumni == |

The alumni section has had a run of false or gratuitous entries. It may still need pruning. Please ensure accuracy. And not everyone is famous. Unless someone is obviously famous, it would help to provide some documentation. (The director of marketing for The Sandwich Factory, for example, if he even exists, does not appear on google, and warranted deletion.) If you have serious contributions, it would help to back them up or they will disappear. ] 15:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC) |

In addition, Hofstra also divides their notable alumni according to the college they graduated from. I.E.- If you want to see "drama" or "communications" alumni of distinction, then you have to goto the college of drama site (http://www.hofstra.edu/Academics/HCLAS/DD/DD_alumni.cfm) |
|
|
or college of communications site, etc. I don't know why the school does this, but they do. |
|
|
|
|
|
As far as the other alumni, they can all be verified by doing a simple web search. |

> Herbert A. Deutsch, composer, inventor of the Moog synthesizer (Hofstra Alum) |
|

Nonsense! If he invented it, it would be called the "Deutsch Synthesizer" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is absolutely true! Goto his web page at Hofstra.edu and read his official bio. http://www.hofstra.edu/academics/hclas/music/music_deutsch.cfm |
|
|
Scroll down to the bottom of his official bio and "actually" take the time and read!!!! He "collaborated" in the development of the Moog synthesizer with Robert A. Moog. |

No it is true, I had a class with him and he was only the co-creator. It pretty much came down to the fact of bad business ethics. He also showed us a segment of a program that was on A&E I think that also said he was one of the co-creators. Why would he lie about it anyways? |

Very funny to who ever listed this as a Greek Life org at Hofstra. In 'reality' this is the Fraternity started by ] on the Cartoon Network series ]. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) {{{Time|06:11, August 26, 2007 (UTC)}}}</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
