Wesleyan Student Council war on the school paper

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.

See, this is what I mean by teachable moments:

The Wesleyan Student Assembly (WSA) passed a resolution on Sunday, April 3 that will create a publications fund separate from the Student Budget Committee (SBC). The bill, Resolution 15.37, was passed nearly unanimously, on a 23-1 vote, with 4 abstaining.

According to Jack Minton ’18, one of the bill’s two principal sponsors, alongside Mattison Asher ’17, the legislation is intended to make publications largely independent from the WSA and to separate the student press from the student government.
