For weeks, officials at Spring Arbor University have hoped the story about a fired transgender professor who filed a discrimination claim would go away.

Last month, the administration took matters into their own hands, removing from racks about 500 copies of the Crusader, a university-funded student newspaper. The issue included a story about the university's settlement with Julie Nemecek.

make a bad decision that's haunting you? others have bad opinions about you or your work place?  Well don't put up with it any longer.  Right now you can censor your way out of any mess.  By using "the censor" you will be able to keep others at bay while you try and repair your image problem.  It's just like a celebrity entering rehab.  Don't wait, call in the next 20 minutes and we'll send you a personalised stamp to use on any offending material.  let them know how you feel with a great big, "You know nothing!" red stamp.  Operators are standing by.

Quote from: from Article"The student newspaper is a legal entity of the university and as such has an obligation to adhere to the highest standards in reporting and journalistic integrity," the statement read.

The statement did not specify what was deemed inaccurate.

So?  You post a correction in the next issue.  You don't punish the staff by making them  scissor the article out of 75 copies and trash the other 425 (or more?) copies to achieve "journalistic integrity".  It smacks of making them write on the blackboard 500 times, "Transsexuality is a sin"...

This stinks to high heaven, I think...

Well, they have learned how the "real" world works. They are indeed getting a good education.
