A University of Notre Dame professor has filed a defamation lawsuit against a student-run publication, The Irish Rover, over its coverage of her abortion-rights work. The lawsuit alleges that the articles contained "false and defamatory" information. The Rover defended its reporting as true and argued that it falls under the protection of Indiana's anti-SLAPP law. The case raises questions about press freedom and academic freedom at the Catholic university.
