Andrew Brownstein reports that "[m]ost campus newspapers -- including The Harvard Crimson -- have refused to publish the ad. Another, The Daily Californian, at the University of California at Berkeley, ran a front-page apology after facing a series of vociferous protests.... Brown...became the first Ivy League university to publish it." Since a newspaper is not obligated to run all ads, much less ads that contain false information, the editors of the campus newspaper at Brown could & should have refused to run the Horowitz ad, following the editors of other campus newspapers.
