Who knows what's going on between UCF and the Orlando Sentinel?
Hear it one way and the school not only kicked the paper off campus, but is now boycotting it. Heard another way, the Orlando Sentinel decided not give away free papers anymore (who can blame them?) and the students are rebelling. It all sounds odd, but if it's the first case where they got kicked off campus, folks this is censorship on a school campus, and I wouldn't be surprised that it was happening right here in Central Florida.

1. they give out free papers - so if they now don't want to - it makes sense
if they want to put paid machines, that might be different , I don't think there are any newspapers paid machines for newspapers on campus

2. I didn't pick up on the extra link.
Their information is more pertinent to the local area so they have something of value to offer, though their rep isn't that great. Still, it's the only local paper and one can hope it changes.

3. UCF is one of Florida's most diverse University's.
The demographics are no-where near the I-4 corridor mentality. Probably Free just became not free, and students just rebelled.
