BREAKING NEWS:
ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY: Student newspaper designated as public forum.
By designating the Daily Vidette as a public forum, Bowman has indicated his intent to guarantee that Vidette editors have the highest level of freedom of the press possible under the June decision in Hosty v. Carter, where the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held that a student newspaper must be designated a as a public forum for editors to have strong First Amendment protection. The decision only impacts students in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, and is being appealed to the Supreme Court.
UPDATE: The Daily Vidette's Web site. Nothing about the public forum yet, but I'll keep an eye out.
