==Newspaper==
UConn's newspaper is ''The Daily Campus'', which is published every weekday. The paper has four main sections - commentary (opinion), news, sports, and focus, which is about video games, movies, and other entertainment.
In 1994, commentary columnist Jennifer Nielsen called the school's affirmative action program "racist". This led to a serious of protests among [[liberal]] and [[minority students]] who demanded that the undegraduate fee for the paper be eliminated (it wasn't). However, this piece did not represent the paper's opinion, only Nielsen's. As the editor pointed out, only the editorial is the paper's opinion, and the other articles just represent the individual columnists' opinions.<ref>[http://articles.courant.com/1994-10-06/news/9410060277_1_minority-students-student-newspaper-undergraduate-fees]</ref>
In 2003, 9,000 papers were stolen from the loading dock one day after weekly columnist Josh Levinson wrote a column that called campus cultural centers (such as the African-American, Latino, and Gay/Lesbian centers) "exclusionary". No conclusive link between the two was ever proven, but the column is believed to be the cause. Two suspects were identified by security footage, but no charges were ever filed.
