Student Fees are used in funding the DS. The DS is overseen by the Board of Student Publications, a standing committee of Student Government as the role of publisher. They are required to put in a disclaimer that states:
BOSP as the board is commonly referred to as, is in charge of hiring the DS editor every spring. I have not yet read the articles that were in today's paper,so i can't really comment on them. I am on this board so if any students have something they would like us to look for in an editor, please pm me. I can't guarentee anything because we have to work with the applicants that we get, but i can try.
