UPDATE: Following the firing of the director of the student newspaper, Indiana University has now cut the print edition of the newspaper entirely. www.idsnews.com/article/2025...

Indiana University cuts IDS print entirely, hours after firing student media director By IDS staff Oct 15, 2025 1:23 pm · Updated Oct 15, 2025 1:23 pm IU previously directed the Indiana Daily Student to stop printing news coverage in our newspaper. Upon pushback, the university fully cut print, including our special editions. The IDS was not involved in the decision. Media School Dean David Tolchinsky sent the order to IDS leadership in an email responding to its appeal that the school not censor the newspaper. And the dean attributed the decision to “the campus.” He has not yet responded to a message for clarification.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story. "The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

A INnpttM Indiana University fires IDS adviser amid push to control student newspaper's contentThe director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper. As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Since it's the first day of the new semester, I thought it was time to announce that I'm starting as an assistant professor of sociology at Ohio State! Very excited to take my career to my fourth Big 10 university.
