Dhimmitude at The Daily Illini

(Read my previous related post here.)

School editors say they were suspended for running Islamic cartoons
By David Mendell, Chicago Tribune staff reporter

The editor in chief of a student-led newspaper serving the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been suspended for printing cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad that, when published in Europe, enraged Muslims and led to violent protests in the Middle East and Asia.

Editor Acton Gorton and his opinions editor, Chuck Prochaska, were relieved of their duties at The Daily Illini on Tuesday while a task force investigates "the internal decision-making and communication" that led to the publishing of the cartoons, according to a statement by the newspaper's publisher and general manager, Mary Cory.

Gorton said he expects to be fired at the conclusion of the investigation, which is expected to take two weeks.

[Read on here. Hat tip: Michelle Malkin, who links to this cached version of the offending page.
