Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?
Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

Chick-fil-A in Utah spreading measles actually makes a stupid amount of sense
Utah Department of Health and Human Services officials say people may have been exposed to measles at a Chick-fil-A in Cache County.
Measles outbreak hits new part of Utah; people may have been exposed at fast food chain
Measles cases continue to spread in Utah, with a new case reported in northern Utah.

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...
A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum
The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

Also, I usually can’t find a seat on trax so I try to take the bus to campus more now. The lack of seats at prime time could be a deterrent.
