Tulane Students Report Pot Shortage
As if there weren't any bigger problems in the world, Tulane students are reporting a weed shortage on campus, the Hullabaloo writes. Supposedly brought on by a police bust last week, the deficit has students struggling to find replacement dealers and waiting for things to return to the way things were. "Maybe once all the drama blows over things will be back to normal," a resourceful freshman said. "It's really not that big of a deal. I mean, we live in New Orleans. Just because there isn't weed on campus doesn't mean it's hard to get trashed whenever you want."

What Drew Dickson fails to mention above is that she is the Editor-in-Chief of the student newspaper in question. This is not surprising, given that the story commited the journalistically ethical flaw of depending on anonymous sources and also committed the unforgiveable journalistic flaw of reporting on an issue that is irrelevant to the mission of the fine univeristy the newspaper purports to cover.

"As if there weren't any bigger problems in the world"?
It just so happens the other headlines next to the weed article were about how Tulane's janitorial staff doesn't get any health benefits and about how Tulane still has trouble recruiting a racially diverse student body.
And no, I think talking about the drug problems on college campuses shouldn't be pushed into the background. Just because the Hullabaloo chose to cover the story from a different, more interesting and relevant angle, is no reason to criticize it.
