Catching up with Boz

I have been ridiculously busy the past couple of weeks, so here are links to a couple of fairly recent news stories regarding the plight of Karen Bosley and the OCC Viking News...

Bosley "vindicated" upon return to OCC newspaper - August 30, 2006

Karen Bosley, who is returning as student newspaper adviser at Ocean County College after a unanimous vote by the board of trustees Monday, said she feels "somewhat vindicated" and is already working on the first issue of the Viking News, scheduled for publication on Sept. 21.

"I have spoken with three returning students and we are planning our first stories," Bosley said Tuesday. "We are changing the size of the paper and working on news stories about things that have happened on campus over the summer. I have always loved working with students at the newspaper and it will be great to continue."

Trustees at a southern New Jersey community college have decided to reinstate a student newspaper faculty adviser whose removal had sparked protests from journalism groups and even criticism from a federal judge.

The Ocean County College Board of Trustees voted Aug. 28 to reinstate Karen Bosley, who has served as adviser of the college's Viking News for 35 years.

The vote was confirmed Tuesday by college spokeswoman RoseAnn D'Urso, who said litigation on the matter prevented her from commenting further.
