The following response was sent today to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and Student Press Law Center:

There is no ongoing investigation into Ms. Conklin, no punishment was considered or was planned, and The Bottom Line was not directed to do anything; rather they were informed of the events in case they chose to take action, and, if so, were asked to provide the university administration with a confidential notice of any action.  FSU has always and continues to be committed to freedom of speech, journalistic freedom and integrity, civility, and the policies and privacy rights of individuals in the campus community.
