After starting the school year with a sweeping ban on campus newsstands in place, the University of Texas at Dallas has lifted some restrictions for student journalists.
The Retrograde , an independent, student-run publication that started last year after campus officials dismantled the staff of the longstanding university newspaper, The Mercury , announced Monday evening that university officials have granted the publication access to four distribution sites across campus. Before the ban, papers were distributed in 43 locations across campus.
A letter sent to student journalists Monday by University President Prabhas Moghe states that The Retrograde will be allowed to be distributed in the student union, activity center, and two locations in the student services building.
