UMD administrator lambastes student newspaper in e-mail She sent a profane e-mail calling the campus newspaper "fake news." May 7, 2021 — 9:53am Text size Copy shortlink: A University of Minnesota Duluth administrator called the school's student newspaper the "Ministry of Propaganda," and likened it to "fake news" in an e-mail with numerous expletives that was sent to one of her colleagues and obtained by student reporters as part of a public data request. A monthslong battle between student journalists and school officials came to a head this week when the newspaper published the results of the request that was answered in March, seven months after it was made. The more than 800-page response showed the extent of the animosity between the administrator, Jessi Eaton, and the student newspaper.
