7. Legal advice

If, in the opinion of a student editor, student editorial staff or student publications adviser, material proposed for publication or broadcast may be “obscene,” “libelous” or would cause an “immediate material and substantial disruption of school activities,” a legal opinion should be sought under the direction of the faculty adviser. The service of the attorney for the local newspaper or the free legal services of the Student Press Law Center (202-466-5242) are recommended.

The student editor-in-chief will make the final decision of whether the material will be published in the Richland Chronicle, and the KDUX station manager will make the final decision of whether the material will be broadcast on KDUX Web Radio.
