Smith College Students Say Journalists Must Swear Vow of Loyalty to Their Cause
I. Can't. Even.‘By taking a neutral stance, journalists and media are being complacent in our fight.'

Keep in mind that this event took place inside the Smith Student Center—a space where the expectation of privacy has to be quite small. And in any case, the students were not holding an event they deemed closed to reporters; they were holding an event closed to reporters who maintain even a shred of objectivity.
Perhaps more disturbing—the Smith College administration saw nothing wrong with this censorious arrangement.
