Another Seattle community college has lost its journalism program and student newspaper. Seattle Central Community College cut its journalism program and put the City Collegian out of operation, The Stranger reports. Last year, North Seattle Community College also did the same thing to its journalism program and The Polaris.
A letter from the SCCC journalism adviser to the school’s administration said “The Publications Board, chaired by Laura Mansfield, has been hostile to the Collegian all year, and this is one of two reasons for my departure. The board has remained willfully ignorant of the operation of the Collegian, the precepts of student journalism, and student press law.”

Truly a great paper. I have had the pleasure of meeting several staff members as well as the adviser.
What a tragedy.
