Newly added "controversy" section

Idell is insisting that this article include a "Controversy" section that consists of one sentence about an incident that has just occurred. The sentence focuses on an event about one professor, has no historical or other context, and presents no discussion of larger institutional ramifications. Without more information - information that might not be available or possible with a recent, singular event - this appears to be undue weight; it's certainly not something that an editor should begin an edit war to shove into this article without opening a discussion.

ElKevbo, said controversy has made it to my ears and to the editor who started the ‘Controversy’ section’s ears; it has also made it to a reputable news magazine. It’s only fair for it to be mentioned here and it does not put undue weight. You seem to be trying to push your point of view and I sense a conflict of interest. Please be advised that making one revert, in good faith and assuming good faith, is not edit warring. Please also be advised that one should start a discussion before making reverts themselves and not be a hypocrite. Idell (talk) 15:46, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

We don't include in an article everything that has been published once. What exactly are readers supposed to learn about this college from this recent event involving one person? How does this fit into the larger context of the institution and this article that is supposed to cover the entire history, organization, funding, and resources of this institution that is nearly 70 years old?

And please be more specific: What is my conflict of interest? ElKevbo (talk) 16:28, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
