What is the dispute?
This dispute primarily revolves around the information contained in the "Student loan allegations" section of Windsor University School of Medicine.

In February 2010, an article in the St. Petersburg Times with several negative allegations was written about the university, the foremost of which were allegations by two former students of fraud involving Sallie Mae student loans. Since the time these allegations were made 18 months ago, no other sources have corroborated these allegations, and Sallie Mae has not claimed any findings of wrongdoing by the school.

My contention is that this information is primarily a violation of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:UNDUE. I also believe that while the information contained in the article was newsworthy 18 months ago, it no longer belongs in WP considering that the allegations were never corroborated by other sources or confirmed by Sallie Mae.

There are veteran barnstar editors who have commented on both sides of this issue and I belive we are at an impasse. Please see the "Controversy" section on the talk page for the discussion about the topic.

What would you like to change about this?
We are at an impasse regarding the inclusion/removal of the "Student loan allegations" section. There are veteran editors who have commented on both sides of the issue and the discussion has been mostly civil. If you could help us make a decision that would be great.

How do you think we can help?
If you aren't able to make a decision on the inclusion/removal of the information, please indicate what the next course of action should be.
