But it's not libel as I understand it. They aren't accusing the university of killing students. In fact, at least one student died in the "alleged" hazing incident.
Besides, I'm not defending the newspaper, but rather saying that they were willing to give up their "journalistic" integrity -- whatever amount they may have, if any -- for financial reasons.
That's the reason that in some large news organizations, sales people aren't even allowed in the newsroom.
