DFP: Boston College Admin Pressures Heights 

Daily Free Press: "Editors at The Heights, the independent student newspaper at Boston College, expect administrators could respond as early as tomorrow to a letter from the paper’s Editorial Board, which addressed college officials’ efforts to impose restrictions on the paper as a condition for leasing office space from the school.

Administrators proposed 'a little more than a dozen changes' to an existing lease, to be renewed at the end of December, according to Heights Editor-in-Chief Nancy Reardon, who called the stipulations 'unprecedented' at BC. The changes would require the paper reject advertisements for alcohol, cigarettes or birth control, slash advertising rates for student groups, establish a code of ethics, appoint an ombudsman and install a faculty advisor and faculty oversight board..."

Here's an editorial on it, too.

SEE ALSO: "More than 35,000 students at public colleges and universities in Massachusetts may not be able to afford school next year because tuition and fees are rising faster than financial aid..." according to one report.

College of Communication faculty and Provost Dennis Berkey will meet Tuesday to discuss John Schulz’s future as COM dean.

In the letters pages, a student senator criticizes the Free Press's negative coverage.
