Recent Lindenwood graduate here, I can say that the Student Newspaper or Legacy Magazine as it became this year is certainly something that we all pick up on our way to get food in Spellman. I was featured in the Newspaper my Junior year and it was a big deal for my family , even though it was only an on campus thing. The school has been unhappy with what they felt were some "attacking" articles that opened the University up for criticism. For example, we had a few sexual scandals over the last few years. The magazine, led by an editor who as a young woman was very personally passionate and a little biased (as in not waiting for innocent until proven guilty to play out) in her writing wrote some articles that painted LU as perhaps lacking in the strength of their discipline in cases involving student athletes.

Lindenwood is a good school and they're not struggling financially at all. We have a perfectly fine football stadium, and yet they're tearing out the undamaged and perfectly fine turf to put in some new fancy state of the art turf.

The school is doing this to protect themselves from future criticism by the Magazine crew.

Nobody, and i mean nobody takes the time to read the articles on LindenLink.com or follow the crew on social media.

But everyone see's their magazine stands on their way to get food, checkout books, go to class etc.

This is about silencing dissent. It's troubling.
