Budget cuts could end print version of university's newspaper

Sidelines — the student-run newspaper at Middle Tennessee State University — may disappear in print form if the university president approves a proposed cut to the paper's budget. A work group responsible for reviewing nonacademic units at the university has proposed a restructuring of Sidelines that would save $100,000. This could be aimed at the paper's $96,000 printing budget. About 8,000 copies of Sidelines are printed twice a week, on Monday and Thursday, and distributed free across campus.
