During spring semester, I wrote about the sudden and mysterious suspension of Warren Swil, the adviser of the Courier campus newspaper at Pasadena City College.

As I posted at the time: PCC officials are saying it is due to an allegation of misconduct of some kind. But early press coverage indicates many students and faculty feel the case against Swil, also a PCC journalism professor, is built atop little more than vengeance. The school has been going through a rough patch lately, and the Courier has been doggedly covering it.
