Le Moyne College dismissed a school newspaper's adviser for failing to exercise more control over the paper. Professor Alan Fischler had been the paper's adviser since 1996, when he was chosen by the paper's staff. When he was dismissed, he was informed by administrators that they wanted a more "hands-on" adviser who would supposedly make the newspaper a "showpiece" for the college. Fischler, who continues to teach at Le Moyne, was replaced by an adviser hand-picked by administrators-a move that spurred a months-long strike by the newspaper's student staff.
