Regardless of copyright, it also needs reliable, independent sources to satisfy general notability guidelines: every department of every university in the world has a history, the salient point for including in Wikipedia is if enough reliable, independent sources outside the school or faculty members themselves have dedicated significant attention to this department. --Animalparty!

I believe I've resolved this issue, and have greatly summarized the department's history. It is one of the most important departments for the advancement of quantitative methods in the social sciences.Wilsonism (talk) 09:37, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
