One week later, Dean Still Silent to Students

One week after 'Quotegate' broke with Spett's op-ed challenging the dean's sourcing practices, Medill's Dean Lavine has yet to address formally his undergraduate and graduate students...and students are asking "why?".

Steve Silver (Medill '08) today joined the newly formed Facebook group "Save Journalism at Medill" where he posted this comment:

Is it just me or has Lavine not addressed this issue to the students yet? For someone with such a love for PR and Marketing he is doing a really poor job of image control.

We'll post Lavine's statement to the student body if/when he makes it.
