Despite being under heavy fire from several student groups, The Crimson, Harvard University’s student newspaper, continues to defend its standard journalistic practices, refusing to apologize for asking federal immigration officials for comments on coverage of activity at the school.
According to The Crimson, the student-run publication came under fire after they reached out to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this September for comment on an on-campus student rally calling for the agency’s dismantlement. The Crimson’s coverage, which came out the day after the rally, notes that ICE did not respond to the request for comment.
