If it happens everywhere it hasn’t gotten as much national attention elsewhere. At my university that the student government appointed board members to oversee student media but once they did that board had independent control over the media budget. Even if the government members had been outraged the most they could do was wait until appointments expired and influence the future make-up of that board. Which would usually mean they couldn’t knee-jerk react to the issue of the moment. I worked for the paper as an undergrad and chaired the media board as a grad student. There were plenty of controversial issues but I never experienced any attempt to defund the student media in retaliation.
