For over 14 months, administrators at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine censored —a faculty-produced bioethics journal—because it published an issue in Winter 2014 with a “Bad Girls” theme deemed too salacious for the school’s image. Though , a new administrative oversight committee was reportedly formed and is tasked with reviewing the content of Atrium’s next issue. This is a significant departure from the publication’s editorial practice, giving rise to concerns that the university will take an active role in policing the publication’s content. FIREwrote to Northwestern on May 26, 2015, calling on the university to honor its and cease its repeated intrusions on Atrium’s editorial independence. The university has yet to respond.
