Name
The name of the region where the majority of students live in is a controversial topic. It is most commonly called "The Student Ghetto", but this is a disagreeable name for many people. The Alma Mater Society considers it "Offensive to those individuals in the world who live in real ghettos." The AMS attempted to rename the area "The student Village" in 2006, but the name did not stick, and there were complaints by residents of the area that weren't students. Another campaign was launched in 2008 with an article in the Whig Standard by Municipal Affairs Commissioner Paul Tye, it specifically targeted to first year students. A politically correct name is still unresolved.
