UMD administrator lambastes student newspaper in e-mail She sent a profane e-mail calling the campus newspaper fake news. May 7, 2021 9:53am Text size Copy shortlink:
A University of Minnesota Duluth administrator called the school s student newspaper the Ministry of Propaganda, and likened it to fake news in an e-mail with numerous expletives that was sent to one of her colleagues and obtained by student reporters as part of a public data request.
A monthslong battle between student journalists and school officials came to a head this week when the newspaper published the results of the request that was answered in March, seven months after it was made. The more than 800-page response showed the extent of the animosity between the administrator, Jessi Eaton, and the student newspaper.
