After circulating the Minaret on Nov. 19, approximately 1,800 copies were stolen and thrown into various garbage cans around campus.
The University of Tampa Safety and Security was notified early Friday, Nov. 20.
A report was also filed with the Tampa Police Department later that afternoon.
UT Officer Debbie Devraes notified the Minaret that the persons responsible were caught.
It was later detailed in a UT report that the students removed the newspapers from all of the racks (with the exception of two) because they felt that a sentence in the article titled “Students Arrested on Felony Drug Charges” made them look bad.
The students were referred to conduct board.
