Controversy
The Norwegian Trekking Association made an exception to their rules about sponsoring, resulting in the sponsoring of a daughter of Devold, and her student friends, with 5 000 Norwegian kroner in 2011. (The sponsorship was part of a deal where the organization would receive advertising on the side of a bus used for celebrating the forthcoming end of the secondary schooling of the group of friends.) The organization reversed that decision about sponsoring, later in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
