Suppressed Press at Christian Colleges

You probably wouldn’t know if a scandal broke out at Taylor University, a Christian institution in rural Indiana.  Based on reading the student newspaper online, the university appears successful in many measures – donor money for scholarships skyrocketing, a new campus museum opening, an alumna taking a high-profile job.  But a several years ago, after a former professor sued Taylor for alleged racial discrimination, the story didn’t make it to the website of the student newspaper, The Echo, though it did appear in the print edition. Administrators blocked its publication.
