The IU chancellor reversed said Indiana Daily Student can resume print editions through the fiscal year, while the university denies censorship amid backlash and a related federal lawsuit.

Former student media director Jim Rodenbush sued Indiana University in federal court, alleging the school violated his free-speech rights and wrongfully terminated him.

After IU cut final student newspaper IDS printings, Purdue students made a free press edition and distributed 3000 copies across Indiana University’s Bloomington campus. The headline reads, “We Student Journalists Must Stand Together.”

Media, faculty groups and free speech organizations have accused IU of censorship for ordering the IDS to remove news from a special print edition. But IU leaders have not publicly spoken about their position.

Media School Dean David Tolchinsky announced Tuesday night that campus leadership decided to end print editions starting this week. The word came hours after he fired Director of Student Media Jim Rodenbush.
