Daily Trojan editor resigns in spat

Zach Fox edits the USC student paper this semester and was reelected by the staff to do it again in the spring, but he quit last night after the university nixed his second term. Administrators told the Daily Trojan they were concerned about Fox's objectives, in particular a proposal to have the editor-in-chief step back from running the paper day to day. Some staff members think the real reason is that Fox has demanded to know how much money the Daily Trojan takes in and where it goes. Today's DT news story is accompanied by an unsigned editorial that complains "it's hard to believe that a top-30 university's administration would have the audacity to fire its student newspaper's elected editor because of campus politics."
