Yesterday, the American University Eagle reported that Georgetown officials had nefarious plans for Juicy Campus. We thought that was funny considering that GUSA President Pat Dowd, once enamored with the idea, had dismissed it weeks ago.

In an email, Pat Dowd denied that our beloved Juicy Campus is threatened:

It is unfortunate that certain media outlets tend to speculate on these sort of things without first checking the facts, but let me assure you that There was never, nor is there now, a decision made between GUSA and the University to ban the site.

That doesn’t rule out an administration move separate from GUSA, but we’ll take it.

Sara Waldron, the AU official who’s the basis of the Eagle’s story, wrote in an email that she has not talked to anyone in Georgetown but rather heard Georgetown was doing something from an AU colleague.
