There has always been tension between the SLU newspaper and university officials. The most recent conflict is that the former official faculty advisor is now banned from the pressroom where he donated his time and experience to the student journalists. The university filed suit against him for copyright and trademark infringement after he started a nonprofit with the same name as the University News (SLU's paper). Avis Meyer claims that he did this in case the students ever decided to take the paper off campus so that they would have more control.

This issue has been going on for years. Even when I was on campus there was a constant struggle between the paper and officials over articles critiquing Biondi and the way that the school was run. This appears to be another attempt by the school to further gain control over the school paper.
