Not happy. Censorship isn’t the way. I gave money to IU general fund for the IDS last year, so they could pay everyone and not run a deficit. I gave more than they asked for. I told them I’m happy to help because the IDS is important to kids at IU

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.

God bless Mia Hilkowitz.
