The Claremont Independent (The CI) is the only 5Cs student publication that receives funding exclusively from outside sources, instead of from the schools. Earlier this year, the newspaper’s coverage of pro-Palestine action on campus was cited by a letter sent by The U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Education and the Workforce to Pomona College demanding student disciplinary records related to alleged “occurrences of antisemitism.” Given The CI’s national spotlight, this article seeks to go behind the publication. It reviews their funding sources, national affiliations, and origins in the 1990s to illustrate the CI’s political significance both on campus and beyond.
