Missouri Southern State University’s student paper, The Chart, was taken off the racks at a career fair, and editors fear the paper’s First Amendment rights were violated.
From the Springfield News-Leader: “Alexandra Nicolas, editor-in-chief of The Chart, said that a school official did not feel that a front-page story on a decline in enrollment at MSSU should be displayed at the event.
Nicolas said MSSU enrollment director Derek Skaggs issued the directive to a Chart representative who had arrived to set up a display for Wednesday night’s event. Nicolas said Skaggs “informed her that she was allowed to display anything but those papers.’”
Student affairs vice president John Messick has been told to investigate the matter.
