The press release, signed by LiAnna Davis, Head of Communications and External Relations, that Andreas links to in his comment says, "The program, in which students write Wikipedia articles in place of traditional term papers, created the equivalent of more than 7,000 printed pages of new, high-quality content during the fall term of 2013 and the equivalent of more than 36,000 printed pages of content since its start in 2010."
Can anybody point to a source for the 7,000 printed pages of new, high-quality content during the fall term - particularly the evidence for the high quality of that content?

Apparently, Tim Sandole complains of not having been managed properly by anybody, saying, "The person I dealt with at Wikimedia didn't seem to
know
anything about Wikipedia."
I believe it was clear from Sue's frank report and Pete's more detailed report, that knowledge of Wikipedia was not required by the manager within the Foundation that Sandole was reporting to. It is no surprise that someone within the Funding department might not be an expert in English Wikipedia policies or guidelines for editors.
Does anyone know of any positive action taken yet by the Foundation as a result of this governance failure, beyond Sue's report?
