Tension between Indiana University and its student newspaper flared last week with the elimination of the outlet’s print editions and the firing of a faculty advisor who refused an order to keep news stories out of a homecoming edition.

Indiana University Bloomington ordered its student-run newspaper, the Indiana Daily Student, to stop printing new editions in what the editors behind it are calling an act of censorship.

Indiana University alum Mark Cuban's name has been back in the news lately with regard to the battle over his alma mater's student newspaper.

Indiana University now counts more than 805,000 living Hoosier graduates from its nine campuses. More than 417,000 Hoosier alumni still live in Indiana.

The decision has drawn sharp criticism from advocates for student journalism, Daily Student alumni, and high-profile figures, including billionaire and IU graduate Mark Cuban, who accused the university of undermining press freedom on campus.

In recent weeks, university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student have fought over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.
