Former student journalist Jared Nally sued in October 2020 when the school's president, Ronald Graham, issued a directive detailing what Nally could report and write while he was editor of the student newspaper. The directive was later withdrawn.

The settlement includes an agreement by university leaders not to issue any directives similar to the one issued by Graham that relate to First Amendment rights.
