 This is a listing of all controversy papers that have been submitted in recent years. These papers may be resbumitted for community consideration and individuals should also feel comfortable updating and revising these papers.  Note that the controversy process began in 2007 and so although we also make prior papers available, the format will look slighlty different starting with the 2007 process.

All of the topic work started with this controversy paper. 

• "Reforming U.S. Agricultural Policy" the 08-09 submitted by the Vanderbilt University Debate Team, specifically Bryan Grayson, Nick Brown, Cameron Norris & Phil Rappmund.

After the agricultural controversy was selected we completed several rounds of specific wording research and analysis.
