articles that were perceived as racist and insensitive. The newspaper faced significant sanctions for the issue. In a Letter from the Editor in the first issue of the fall 2010 semester, The Hoya acknowledged that the notorious April Fools' day issue of 2009 was distasteful, but assured its readers that the newspaper would no longer participate in satirical issues. No April Fools' issues have been published since 2009. The Hoyas Board of Directors voted in 2010 to delay independence until the national economy and the paper's financial situation becomes more favorable. Stewards exposé In 2013, The Hoya ran a series of pieces as part of an exposé against the Stewards Society. This included a piece on the current student body president candidate who had undisclosed ties to the secret society. This piece would ultimately alter the course of the election outcome and increase scrutiny against the secret society. The Hoya would continue to run pieces on The Stewards' influence on the 2014 and 2015 races. 2020 and COVID-19 response At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Hoya temporarily paused their print issues and shifted to weekly newsletter-based distribution. The newspaper launched their TikTok account in the fall of 2020, garnering over 150,000 likes on their videos.
