==Update please==
Isn't there anyone at UT Tyler who is capable and willing to update this wiki page occasionally? I worked up much of the page content while my son was attending UTT from 2005 to 2009, hoping that eventually somebody at UT Tyler would update things. Many of the stats are from the 2008-2009 academic year. Take a little pride in your school! <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 00:15, 22 June 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Update please, AGAIN!==
Well another full year has passed and not one d#%n thing has been changed or updated here. Same old stats, same old embarrassing picture of girl wearing bump helmet in groovey peddle car. Can't one of you smart college kids figure out how to edit a simple wiki page? How about mentioning the newly approved Doctor of Pharmacy degree at UT Tyler, huh? You people spend too much time on Twitter. ] (]) 01:48, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

== Update please, again, AGAIN! ==

You have to be kidding me -- another d@mn year has passed and no substantial updates or changes to this article, AGAIN! Does anyone at UT Tyler even know that Misplaced Pages exists, or that there is an article about UT Tyler on Misplaced Pages? Is UT Tyler so academically prestigious that no one there would deign to update this article for the sake of his school's online reputation? Shame on the faculty; shame on you kids! AND STAY OFF MY LAWN!

== The UT Tyler campus setting is definitely suburban -- not urban. ==

Although UT Tyler's campus is technically inside (barely) the corporate limits of a small/medium size city (population 100,000), the campus setting is far more suburban than urban. UT Tyler's campus is mostly surrounded by residential neighborhoods of single family dwellings. The campus location requires some form of automotive transportation to reach common city features such as shopping and other municipal services. Most UT Tyler students live off campus and most are automotive commuters. There is nothing about UT Tyler's campus setting that would suggest that it is contiguous with a high density urban population, such as UT Austin, UT Arlington, UT Dallas, UT San Antonio, University of Houston, Rice University, SMU, TCU, UNT, etc.

== Two more years gone by and barely any change or update to this article. ==

Does anyone who works at or attends UT Tyler even have a digital camera to take a few pics of the campus buildings that would prove to skeptics that this school really exists? How about mentioning the new construction happening on the south edge of the campus (Spring and Fall 2017)? How about mentioning UT Tyler's Houston Engineering Center? How about UT Tyler's STEM charter school, Innovation Academy? Here's my point: many people who have only heard that there is a branch of the University of Texas located in Tyler will look up this Misplaced Pages article to get a first, and possibly only, impression of this school, and conclude that there just really isn't anything noteworthy going on there. Are UT Tyler faculty, staff, and students embarrassed or ashamed of this school, so that they would rather not show the world what UT Tyler is really like? Or is it just laziness, or ineptitude by the Tyler community that has kept this article almost identical for over ten years now? Perhaps this article really does accurately reflect the spirit of this school. Prospective students who have a choice should apply elsewhere.] (]) 18:02, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

>> With respect, either make the updates yourself or quit complaining about it. You don't have to be formally associated with an institution to make Misplaced Pages updates (and it's probably best if updates are made by those aren't employed by said institution). ] (]) <!--Template:Undated--><small class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added 15:40, 6 December 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Orphaned references in ] ==

I check pages listed in ] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for ] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of ]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

<b>Reference named "Carnegie":</b><ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. ]] 08:16, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

== Questionable neutrality ==

Neutral, bias-free language is the foundation of Misplaced Pages and must be employed in every article on Misplaced Pages. However, there are several sections and passages in this particular article that are anything but neutral. Many of these sections come across as heavily biased and promotional, reading almost like an advertisement or self-promotional material. It is urged that neutrality be improved. ] (]) 15:31, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
