LETTER FROM THE EDITORS: IU has now fully cut IDS print. What more is there to say? The decision came hours after IU terminated Director of Student Media Jim Rodenbush.

As someone who worked on student newspapers for 8+ years, I'm appalled at how IU is treating workers at the IDS. Shoutout to these students for standing up for free speech. www.idsnews.com/article/2025...

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Since it's the first day of the new semester, I thought it was time to announce that I'm starting as an assistant professor of sociology at Ohio State! Very excited to take my career to my fourth Big 10 university.
