Don’t Mess With Student Journalism
Indiana University officials are learning a lesson after firing a faculty adviser for protesting cuts to print editions.
People quickly come to the defense of college journalists, and when a university administration decides to restrict campus media, it can lead to embarrassment for the administration, as Indiana University recently discovered.
The university, including the dean of the Media School, fired the faculty adviser to IU’s student media for resisting a new edict to limit print editions of the Indiana Daily Student newspaper to special-event coverage, with no general news stories.
The university canceled print editions entirely in the midst of the newspaper’s pushback against the restriction.
IU’s censorship provoked a wave of unflattering national headlines.
