University of Alabama Suspends Student Magazines, Alumni Fight Back

The University of Alabamas decision to suspend funding for student magazines Alice and Nineteen Sixty-Six has sparked concern among alumni and the wider community. The magazines focus on womens and Black culture, respectively. The university cited a new state law regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion programming as the reason for the change. Alumni group Masthead and over eighty alumni have expressed strong disapproval, calling the cancellation the beginning of a slippery slope of censorship for all student media. The university has proposed a new, more general magazine as an alternative, but the future of Alice and Nineteen Sixty-Six remains uncertain. DNN | The Daily News Now!
