Editorial: Standing in Solidarity with the Indiana Daily Student
The Indiana Daily Student is facing opposition from its own university, highlighting the importance of journalism on campus.
In a recent incident, Indiana University administrators attempted to restrict the Indiana Daily Student from publishing news stories in their homecoming print edition. This came after the number of print editions was already reduced, with remaining editions focused on special themes.
A key development occurred on the 14th, when Jim Rodenbush, Director of Student Media, was fired for refusing to comply with the university's order. Shortly after, the university announced that it would be cutting print entirely for the Indiana Daily Student.
In a show of solidarity, Purdue University's student paper, The Exponent, printed 3,000 copies of a special edition featuring editorials from the Indiana Daily Student and delivered them to IU's campus on the 17th.
Student media is essential to campus communities.
