Talk:Manhattanville controversy
How is the Expansion a Scandal??Absentminded 22:00, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
- That really depends on who you ask. I'm pretty sure an opponent of it would brand it a scandal. Feinstein 23:46, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
- The expansion plan itself isnt a scandal, however, it is controversial, and there's a difference. A 'scandal' (using the term broadly) would be the various embarrassing episodes chronicled by the Spectator along the way. Absentminded 23:57, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
- I don't necessarily disagree with you, but in common currency, the word is used to characterize a wide variety of situations. If you asked me, I call most of the incidents surrounding this 'contretemps.' Feinstein 00:07, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
- If I may suggest, let's add a See Main Article link for Manhattanville Controversy to the Manhattanville campus article, and we can can elaborate on the issues on the Controversy page, and have Manhattanville expansion redirect to the Manhattanville campus article, which will focus on the design, the plan, and the neighborhood, since I presume that's the first thing to come to mind when considering the term?
