Letter from the Editor: On the Imperial Tribunal

The IMP asks how we can blame them, saying they fear retribution from the subjects of their articles. But why do they fear retribution? Perhaps it is because they know they’ve taken their satire a step too far and would face disciplinary action if their identities were revealed. If they named themselves, they would have to consider what are mean-spirited insults and what is good-natured humor.

After Unofficial Satire Publication “Imperial Tribunal” Prints Weekly, EST Puts Pressure on King’s Administration

The Empire State Tribune (EST) has elevated concerns around the recent IMP Weekly printed by the satirical publication, the Imperial Tribunal. The Imperial Tribunal is not an official student organization at King’s and, therefore, does not reserve the right to use college facilities. After The Imperial Tribunal’s printed materials were confiscated from campus news racks soon after being displayed, it prompted an anonymous individual behind the satire publication to pull the EST Weekly from the news racks.
