Penn State officials clarified that the temporary removal of newspaper racks was due to violations of advertising regulations, not the content of the newspapers themselves.
Wayne Lowan, manager of The Daily Collegian, described the university's action as an "overreach," highlighting concerns that the newspaper might have to reimburse its advertisers.
Amy Schafer, editor in chief of The Daily Collegian, characterized the removal as censorship, expressing that it represents a violation against free speech.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression expressed concern over the situation, emphasizing that Penn State shouldn't use advertising regulations to suppress free press.
