: That really depends on who you ask. I'm pretty sure an opponent of it would brand it a scandal. [[User:Feinstein|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. [[User:Absentminded|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.' [[User:Feinstein|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?
