Penn State Removes Student Newspaper Racks Over Policy Violation

Overview

• Penn State removed nearly three dozen racks of The Daily Collegian due to political ads violating school policy.
• The newspaper was not notified in advance about the removal and has not been informed of the racks' storage location.
• Ads for Vice President Kamala Harris and voter registration were displayed on nine of the 35 racks.
• The university returned the racks without the ads and emphasized support for free news sources for students.
• The Daily Collegian faces financial challenges after a 100% funding cut from the university, increasing reliance on advertising revenue.
