We are an in-game corporation, not just a wiki.

The first line should be a statement of WHAT E-Uni actually is -- it seems we are taking it for granted that everyone already knows. If someone didn't know better, they might think the organization sole purpose is to maintain a wiki. Who the founder was, alliance affiliation, and the current CEO is secondary to the Uni's core purpose and identity. No where on the page does it state, in simple and clear terms, that we are an in-game corporation that actually plays together -- that new players can join to learn about the game from experienced players.

The very first sentence should make it clear what E-Uni is, followed by where it came from and how it is organized.

I would recommend something along these lines:

"EVE University [E-UNI] is an in-game corporation whose purpose is to teach the next generation of pilots. We offer in-game training, equipment, fleets, events, mentors, and a variety of comprehensive services to expose new players to everything EvE has to offer. Our goal is to help new players get the training they need to become successful in their chosen career and any future corporations they might join. E-Uni founded on 15 March 2004 by Morning Maniac. It is the main corporation of the Ivy League Alliance and hosts the Uniwiki - EVE Online's principle player-run educational resource. The current CEO of EVE University is Jilokari Kurvora.
