Top editors of the University of Georgia 's student paper quit and the staff walked out . They said the paper 's board hired staff with `` veto power '' over them on news content . The Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication , a division of the university that many of the paper 's student staff attend , lauded the board for having `` reconfirmed the editorial authority of student journalists '' and lamented the `` current crisis of leadership at the paper and its effect on students . '' The faculty members who were fired are suing for wrongful termination, but it is unclear if they will get their day in court or just be let go. A board vice chair says a `` big misunderstanding '' became `` a feeding frenzy for the media ''
