Alumni ask college media to eliminate embarrassing stories from their past

The Chronicle of Higher Education has a story online for the next day or so about how alumni are pressuring student media to eliminate embarrassing stories from their college days now that they're out in the professional world. It's not new, but it's something every publication (including the Marquette Tribune) has faced. A problem is that once something is on the Internet, it's almost impossible to get rid of it even if the original publishing entity is willing to do so. It's the same with those Facebook photos.
