"The article dropped from the guide, Goin' Chico," refers to several incidents including last year's alleged hazing death of a student and the filming of a frathouse porn video that have added to Chico's growing reputation as a notorious party school."
Which part of that or what you quoted is wrong?
Need the GC lawyers here, but I think to win a libel case the school would have to prove that what was reported was wrong, that the paper knew it was wrong and reported it anyway and that they intended to damage the school and/or its reputation.
Again, given the recent history, I don't think that case would be won.
I will add, though, that the topic of the thread is wrong. Chico didn't, and can't, censor this newspaper. What they did was use their economic clout in the town to force the paper not to run the article. That's not censorship.
