FRESNO, Calif. \u2014 Fresno State\u2019s student government body rejected a proposal last week that would have provided students with a free digital subscription to the New York Times after some student officials questioned the paper\u2019s news coverage.<\/p>\n
Associated Students Inc., or ASI, considered a proposal at its Feb. 18 meeting that would have funded free Times subscriptions for students at a cost of $15,705 to the student government. The motion failed in a majority vote after a 30-minute debate.<\/p>\n
