1/06/2003 05:24:00 PM | Timothy Freedom of Press on Campus Check out this interesting article on the freedom of college papers under threat (but it doesn't mention the specific reasons of what the college paper was investigating): In late October 2000, an administrator at south suburban Governors State University called the company that printed the school newspaper and ordered it to stop publication. The reason given by Dean of Student Affairs Patricia Carter: No one from the university had reviewed the paper for journalistic quality and that it may have contained "grammatical errors." That action prompted a legal battle between the student editors and the university over freedom of speech and alleged censorship by the administration that will be played out Tuesday in a federal appeals court in Chicago. College administrators, constitutional law experts, journalism groups and students at other colleges across the country are closely watching the case. College journalists at public schools and free-press advocates worry that a ruling on behalf of the university will choke off their 1st Amendment right to free expression in the often-lively campus press. In particular, they fear a 1988 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Hazelwood, Mo., that gave wide powers to high school principals to control student publications will be broadened to the college level. perma link |
