Amid a scandal at Towson University’s school newspaper, The Towerlight, our summer intern Rachel Fauber won a special election to become editor in chief. Congratulations, Rachel! 

The Towerlight’s editorial board selected Rachel after the former editor in chief resigned in the middle of her term. Controversy erupted within and beyond Towson’s campus after that editor published an anonymous sex column encouraging mutual masturbation. (Gasp!)

Gawker made light of the situation, but I (and everyone else at Campus Progress) congratulate the talented, charming Rachel on her promotion. We have no doubt she’ll accomplish great things, and we wish her all the best.

Rachel Fauber herself!
