Editorial: Solidarity with the Indiana Daily Student

The Indiana Daily Student is facing opposition from its own university, Indiana University, which has restricted its ability to publish news stories in its homecoming print edition.

Following this restriction, the university's Director of Student Media, Jim Rodenbush, was fired on the 14th for refusing to comply with the order. Subsequently, the university decided to cut print entirely for the Indiana Daily Student.

However, on the 17th, Purdue University's student paper, The Exponent, showed its support by printing 3,000 copies of a special edition featuring editorials from the Indiana Daily Student and distributing them on IU's campus.

Student media plays a vital role in campus communities, and it is essential to stand in solidarity with the Indiana Daily Student and journalism as a whole.
