Indiana University fired professor Jim Rodenbush allegedly for refusing to censor the @IDSnews student paper. Admin ordered students to strip everything “but homecoming info” from a recent edition, but Rodenbush upheld the First Amendment, a decision FIRE fully supports.

IDS has maintained editorial independence for over 150 years. Firing Rodenbush shows IU’s disregard for student journalists’, and FIRE demands @IndianaUniv protect student free press and faculty academic freedom.
