Why Did Indiana University Axe Its Award-Winning Print Newspaper?

"A permanent state budget cut will force the University of Idaho to cut 28 'essential' positions. The reductions — in staff and faculty jobs — will lead to larger class sizes, less individualized learning time and fewer research opportunities for undergrads."

Indiana University fires adviser of student media, stops printing Indiana Daily Student. While the digital (albeit news-less) version will remain, the newspaper that was founded in 1867 will no longer publish as a newspaper.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story. "The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

👇🎯 Quite literally, the published course descriptions at most universities are <decades> old & incredibly generic because the course has been taught by dozens of different professors over many years & stop it, this is not serious behavior from Texas A&M leaders & we don't need to pretend that it is.

A huge moment -- Melvyn Bragg steps down from In Our Time after over a quarter of a century. What a programme and what a legacy! Just a model for how to make great, clever, engaging radio, and a twenty-seven-year experiment that proves there's a huge global audience for smart, scholarly programming.

There will be many casualties from UChicago ending ('pausing') PhD admissions in Humantities, but one which I am keenly aware of: this is close to a death sentence for teaching cuneiform in the United States (esp. Sumerian, Hittite, Elamite, Eblaite, Luwian) and it will affect the whole world.
