Indiana University's administrators attempted to restrict the Indiana Daily Student's homecoming print edition, already limited to special themes.
Jim Rodenbush, Director of Student Media, was fired for refusing to comply with the university's order, and the university subsequently 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.
Student media is! essential to campus communities.
