Writing for a college newspaper can be a tricky business. If you stray beyond happy coverage of student groups and sports teams, administrators who hold the paper’s purse strings can get jittery — especially at Belmont University, where the paper has a history of breaking high-profile news. But the students at the Belmont Vision were undeterred as they reported the stories of several women who accused the school’s law college of discriminatory attendance policies for pregnant women. The story broke out beyond the student paper to the Scene and The Tennessean, and the school eventually apologized to the students and said they would work on updating their policies. STEPHEN ELLIOTT
