The Miami Herald had a story in its Sunday edition on the FAMU student newspaper that covered some major stories on its campus –
On campus, the year has been extraordinary — with constant student protests over budgets and jail beatings; statewide criminal trials that tested a new anti-hazing law; the search for a new campus president; state audits; a homecoming king removed for bad grades; a famous marching band caught pilfering from Detroit hotel rooms; and a sense among some that deepening financial troubles are threatening the historically black college’s very existence.
From a windowless room, about two dozen students at The Famuan deliver the news three times a week, sleeping just enough to make it to class and jobs. ”We’re in here sometimes till 12, sometimes till 2 or 3 in the morning,” said Stephanie Haughton, 20, the sports editor from Miami.
It’s a great read about young black leaders who have been tested by fire.
