Many metropolitan newspapers across the country have narrowed their ambitions in recent years, closing regional bureaus and cutting back statewide coverage in an effort to trim costs.

The Star Tribune in Minneapolis is taking the opposite tack.

�������i�Q�����u���P�׾³��v���b�Ϩ�D�Ӧ�C

The paper will now be called The Minnesota Star Tribune, and it will use an injection of money from its billionaire owner to expand its coverage beyond the Twin Cities into other parts of the state.

Steve Grove, the publisher and CEO, said the push, which includes hiring reporters in various parts of the state, was part of an effort to as much as triple the publication��s paid digital subscriptions over the next five years.

The expansion is a rare big bet in the newspaper industry. Local newspapers have been shrinking across the country in recent years. A 2023 report from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern found that almost 2,900 newspapers had shut down since 2005.

But the Star Tribune has remained a bright spot: It hasn��t made major layoffs in recent years, and its newsroom has remained around 225 people for years.

The Star Tribune is owned by Glen Taylor, a billionaire who bought the paper for about $100 million in 2014, several years after it filed for bankruptcy.

Taylor declined to disclose how much he was investing. But he said in a statement that he had decided to inject capital because of ��my belief in the team��s plan, and in our audience��s demand for quality, objective local news.��

Grove��s mandate is to help the publication have a more digital focus. When he joined, the print newspaper generated 70% of the company��s revenue, but subscriptions were falling 15% a year. Digital subscriptions have hovered around 100,000, he said.

��You can��t manage decline toward a profitable future,�� Grove said. ��You��re going to have to at some point take a pretty big swing.��

Grove embarked on a tour last year across Minnesota to hear what people had to say about local news. He hired some new business leaders and directed an overhaul of the technology used to power the Star Tribune��s website and mobile apps and a redesign of the homepage.

He has also made plans to share content with hyperlocal news organizations across Minnesota. He is looking at possible subscription bundles and says he will start a philanthropic arm.

Daniel Diermeier, Vanderbilt University��s chancellor, on Monday told hundreds of new students what the school would not do.

�S�w���j�Ǯժ��}�ں��P�@�i�D�ƦʦW�s�;Ǯդ��|�����ơC

The university would not divest from Israel.

���Ҥj�Ǥ��|�q�H��C�M��C

It would not banish provocative speakers.

It would not issue statements in support or condemnation of Israeli or Palestinian causes.

���|�w��H��C�M�ڰǴ��Zij�D�o������Ϊ����d�n���C

It would not tolerate threats, harassment or protests ��disrupting the learning environment.��

Last month, Vanderbilt required all first-year undergraduate students to attend mandatory meetings about the university��s approach to free speech, with the hope that clear expectations �X and explanations for them �X would help administrators keep order after protests rocked American campuses toward the end of the past academic year.

�W��A�S�w���j�ǭn�D�Ҧ��j�Ǥ@�~�žǥ͡A�ѥ[�Ǯ����󨥽צۥѤ�w���j��ʷ|ij�A�Ʊ���T������M�V�L�̸����A���U��F�H���b�W�Ǧ~����ij���ʾٰʬ���j�Ǯն��������ǡC

��The chaos on campuses is because there��s lack of clarity on these principles,�� Diermeier said in an interview.

�}�ں��b�@���X�ͤ����ܡG�u�ն�o�DzV�áA�O�]���o�Ƿǫh�������T�C�v

There is no guarantee that the preemptive meetings will work. Many student activists and professors at Vanderbilt have condemned the university��s rules as suppressing their speech, and even universities with histories of hard-nosed tactics have struggled with demonstrations.

�L�k�O�ҹw���ʷ|ij���ġC�S�w���j�dz\�h�ǥͺ��v�H�h�M�б¡A�w���d�Ǯժk�W����L�̪����סA�Y�ϥH�j�w��q�ۺ٪��j�ǡA�]���H�]���ܫ¬��ʡC

But university officials nationwide are grasping for new approaches as they brace for renewed protests over the Israel-Hamas war, along with a bitterly contested presidential election. Many administrators remain shaken by the closing weeks of the spring semester, when encampments, building occupations and clashes with police helped lead to thousands of arrests across the country.

The strategies that are coming into public view suggest that some administrators have concluded that permissiveness is perilous, and that a harder line may be the best option �X or perhaps just the one least likely to invite blowback from elected officials and donors.

University presidents used summer break to huddle with police, lawyers, trustees and other administrators to rewrite rules, tighten protest zones, and weigh possible concessions to maintain, or restore, order. Many have studied universities that temporarily defused tensions by striking deals with protesters.

Universities are signaling little overt interest in negotiations.

��The question is how do we get more consistent in the way we respond to these issues �X and clearer about what the rules are and what the tiered responses will be,�� said Richard K. Lyons, the new chancellor at the University of California, Berkeley.
