Hi!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an awards section to the GBS Wikipedia page, and to include the following awards within that section:

2 Palmes of Excellence from Eduniversal Business Schools Ranking ^[1]

75th Best Business School In The World For 2018 from CEOWORLD Magazine ^[2]

57th in Switzerland according to Ranking Web of Universities ^[3]

Let me know when you can!

As always, thanks so much for your feedback.

I'm afraid that these award rankings use subjective and/or hidden metrics to arrive at their tally's and without going into deeper details about what the awards mean, what they measure, how they're measured and who is doing the measuring (all which would be beyond the scope of the article) there's not much that can be added here. spintendo 16:17, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quick reply!

I am student at Geneva Business School and it's a well known fact that the school is paying for these fake ranking to then claim : Geneva Business School is ranked 57th out of the World’s top 100 business schools, and the 2nd top business school in Switzerland.

I am not familiar with Wikipedia rules, but I hope these idiotic claims will be removed from this page. 2001:1713:EA77:C070:FD34:CDB0:F302:22FD (talk) 10:37, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

misleading content / advertising >> updates[edit]

This is an education business.

This topic is sensitive and statements can mislead future students. This page needs to be worked on with sensitivity and responsibly in regards to the complexity of the situation - and the fact that Wikipedia should be a correct source of information for future students.

Help please from other contributors please. EstuBcn (talk) 19:30, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spintendo advice?

This article was littered with a lot of references which are in effect paid-for channels that all recycle the same content provided by the business itself. I've cleaned this up and hope the message arrived somewhere. -- JohnSpambo (talk) 15:24, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding accreditation by for profit schools in Switzerland[edit]

Recently it has come to my notice the wikipedia aritcels regarding Business schools that are private established in Swiss are filled with inaccurate information about the eduQua certification and regarding a clear cases of abuse in higher education accreditation, with the intent of misleading prospects. These Schools are using said pages to provide "facts" and mislead potential students with these (which is punishable by law should one ever fille a complaint about this)

The user SunDown removed breaks of information about these facts in these pages and i would urge the moderation team to look into it. Citating information as valid proof from said School pages goes against wikipedia guidance. It was also requested to the user to check/verify the information but it was never complied.

The run down is these Schools are not accredited to award valid degrees in Switzerland; https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/sbfi/de/home/hs/hochschulen/koordination-hochschulbereich/titelschutz-und-titelanerkennung.html https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/content/dam/sbfi/en/dokumente/2017/12/titel-privater-institutionen.pdf https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/dam/sbfi/en/dokumente/webshop/2016/titelschutz-hs.pdf.download.pdf/titelschutz-hs.pdf

"Private institutions based in Switzerland that are not accredited under the HEdA may only issue private degrees. Such degrees: - generally do not confer any entitlement upon the holder to gain direct access to a higher level of studies within Switzerland's public higher education sector; - generally may not be used by the holder to carry out a profession that is regulated in Switzerland; - may be used by the holder to carry out an unregulated profession; appreciation of the value of private degrees is left up to employers. Generally speaking, there are no international agreements protecting the value of private degrees; in all cases, it is up to the national authorities in the host country to decide whether to recognise foreign qualifications. Private institutions are able to legitimately carry out their activities in Switzerland by virtue of the principle of economic freedom. They may also use a name that is not subject to an accreditation requirement. However, this does not mean that the Swiss authorities recognise the studies offered, nor the examinations passed nor the qualifications issued."

I have cleaned up the page from opinions of @ErrgoProxy: but it seems like he keeps adding biased or fake content on private institutes' pages. Failed verification and unsourced content are the main issues. Ping to @SunDawn: too! Eatingsnowballs (talk) 16:40, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
