Student gov. freezes papers' funding at Florida Gulf Coast University

The Student Press Law Center reports:
Student government leaders have frozen the funding of Eagle News, the student newspaper at Florida Gulf Coast University, breaking an agreement reached last week, newspaper staff members say. . . . [Adviser Maria]Roca said student government leaders had several objections with the newspaper's content, including: a crossword puzzle clue that asked readers to identify a student arrested for a felony and an error in a dollar amount of one of the stories about the student government. Roca said leaders argued that the newspaper had no active oversight board, which the newspaper’s constitution requires.
