Earlier this year DePaul University was given the first-ever "Lifetime Censorship Award" by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education for its long, inglorious history of punishing and suppressing mostly conservative speech.

The nation's largest Catholic university – which doesn't want students to hear about radical Islam's threat to gay people, vandalism against pro-lifers or criticism of race preferences – has appeared with regularity on FIRE's annual list of the worst colleges for free speech.

[...] DePaul is slashing dozens of staff positions to "place the university in a better long-term position to invest in strategic growth," according to a statement to staff Thursday obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

The 62 full- and part-time staff members are mostly in administrative support roles, and they represent 3.5 percent of non-faculty workers. The statement didn't specify exact positions. The school avoided the ire of its faculty by sparing them any layoffs.

    In other words, "I don't like the information presented so I'll attack the source as a nice convenient strawman".

    If only those "conservatives" weren't so clumsy and transparent with their propaganda they wouldn't be so easy to attack.

      Doesn't everyone believe that a DDOS attack against the FCC resulted in the false appearance that most comments were in favor of keeping net neutrality?

      The TRUMP administration says it happened. So it must be true!
