I think you're missing some nuances here. You don't have a constitutional right to have the govt pay for your preferred method of disseminating your opinions. If you want to start and pay for your own student newspaper, go right ahead IU students. But if the govt is paying for it, I think they have to have a say in the most cost-effective method.@yothn They can publish whatever the hell they want to publish. Online. These are just immature, emotionally unstable people throwing a temper tantrum.
"You can worship however you want, you're just not allowed to go to church to do it!"
That would go over well.
Other than in areas of safety, I'm a pretty staunch defender of our Constitutional rights and it's disappointing how many people easily want to give those away because they don't agree with what someone wants to do with those rights.
That all assumes there wasn't a content-related reason to shift the IDS from print and digital to just digital. If the reason was to punish or silence a voice the admin didn't like, as the FIRE piece says, then that's a big problem.
@mattndallas , of course I don't read the IDS. Never have, except for the comics back in the day. Political op eds written by undergrads? LOL, no.

The print editions of the IDS were the most profitable medium under the new agreement to reduce the number of printed editions that started this fiscal year. More profitable than the website. And the Homecoming edition was set to be profitable as well. So why would the administration cut these print editions for financial reasons when they are making money? And Cuban had already donated to cover all student salary/wages.
