Western University Students' Council vs. student newspaper

The University of Western Ontario's daily student paper, The Gazette, is facing threats to its press freedom from its publisher, the Western University Students' Council, according to front-page reports today penned by the paper's editor-in-chief Gloria Dickie.

Part of the story surrounds the USC's decision to move the Gazette's office from the 1,900 sq. ft. space it currently occupies in the University Community Centre to a space nearly half that size in order for a new multi-faith space to move in. The decision comes after a school year in which Dickie reports there has been a tense relationship between the USC and the Gazette.
