Why was this ever even an issue? A left-wing newspaper would never have to go through this.

Breitbart News reports:

Exclusive: Harvard’s Only Conservative Student Paper Wins Battle to Distribute on Campus

Harvard University’s only conservative student publication has just regained the rights to distribute on campus after a nearly year-long battle between student journalists and school administration, Breitbart News has learned.

The Harvard Salient, which publishes in print as well as online, was originally launched in the 1980s before falling dormant during the Obama administration and eventually rebooting in Fall 2021 — but their comeback has been far from easy.

“While it seemed that it was an incredibly hostile time when the Salient was revived in 2021, it was also like our political movement was ready to say, ‘Conservatives on campus cannot be treated as pariahs anymore,’” president of the Salient, Sarah Steele, told Breitbart News.

The student paper has been fighting to deliver its publication to Harvard dormitories since February 2024, she said.

Steele, a senior at the Cambridge, Massachusetts, institution, said that the Ivy League school is in need of an “intellectual conservative perspective” after some faculty on campus shut down the paper’s distribution to the dorms — a move that was officially reversed Wednesday morning.

Among the pushback from school staff were claims that placing print copies under student’s dorm doors was a “fire hazard” and not “environmentally friendly” for using paper, though other campus publications did not receive the same complaints, Steele said.
