Letter from the Editors: Our Commitment to Defending Student Journalism

In recent years, student journalism has been under heavy fire, experiencing censorship and defunding on multiple levels. Purdue University severed ties with their long-standing student-run newspaper, The Exponent, back in June, and despite avid student support, Indiana University’s longstanding paper, The Indiana Daily Student (IDS), was defunded and their advisor was fired for allegedly resisting the administration’s censorship.

18 years in, Carson faces real challenge: What Wells and Hornedo would do for IU Indianapolis students

Politics

On May 5, 2026, Indiana's 7th Congressional District will hold its most competitive Democratic primary in years. André Carson, an 18-year incumbent, is facing a real challenge for the first time since his 2008 victory. District 7 — which encompasses IU Indianapolis's campus — is a reliably safe Democratic house seat, meaning the primary winner will likely go on to represent the district in Washington. The Campus Citizen spoke with two of the leading Democratic challengers: Destiny Wells and George Hornedo. Wells comes in with a military background, having served in Afghanistan and now serving as a lieutenant colonel in military intelligence. Wells is an IU alumna and earned her law degree from the University of Texas in 2011.
