Narrative: 

College-operated radio or television stations shall be free from censorship and advanced approval of content. This editorial freedom entails a corollary obligation under the canons of responsible journalism and applicable regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.

All college published and financed communications in which editorial comment is included shall explicitly state on the editorial page or in broadcast that the opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the college, employees, the student government, or the student body.
