NYT AND COLUMBIA IN BED TOGETHER

ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK SUN, COLUMBIA GAVE THE NYT EARLY ACCESS TO ITS REPORT IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR AGREEMENT NOT TO INTERVIEW THE JEWISH STUDENTS WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROFESSORS.

Faculty Committee Largely Clears Scholars.
In an effort to manage favorable coverage of its investigation into the complaints, the university disclosed a summary of the committee’s report only to the Columbia Spectator, the campus newspaper, and the New York Times. Those newspapers, sources indicated to The New York Sun last night, made an agreement with the central administration that they would not speak to the students who made the complaints against the professors.
