"It's bad for journalism students, it's bad for students and it's my impression that it's very sneaky," McSwane said of Penley's meeting with Gannett representatives.
The measure, drafted by ASCSU senators Byron Moore, Sage Morris-Green and Sara Goldman, noted that CSU officials did not inform students, professional staff or student staff of Student Media of the discussion.
They asserted that students don't want corporate-run media and the discussions should end.
Gleeson attended the discussion with the Coloradoan and said she lobbied heavily to Penley that if conversations continued, professional and student staff as well as university students be made aware of the proceedings.
CSU President Larry Penley issued a statement several hours after the meeting, saying the purpose of the discussion was to evaluate how a "strategic partnership" between the two papers could impact the students and that any further discussion between the university and the school would be made public.

Student Government is just as responsible as McSwane is for this fiasco.
Didn't the students admonish McSwane for cursing in the paper. That is factual evidence in writing. (Continued…)
