Editorial: Standing in Solidarity with the Indiana Daily Student

The Indiana Daily Student is facing suppression from its own university, highlighting the importance of journalism on campus.

Indiana University administrators attempted to restrict the Indiana Daily Student from publishing news stories in its homecoming print edition, already limited in number and mostly focused on special themes.

A significant incident occurred on the 14th, when Jim Rodenbush, Director of Student Media, was fired for refusing to comply with the university's order, and hours later, the university cut 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.
