As part of her duties, Yeagle helped students participate in the Governor’s Fellows Program. The Collegiate Times, Virginia Tech’s student newspaper, published an article about the university’s success in placing students in the program.

She argued that the phrase implied the commission of sodomy and was therefore actionable. What is Collegiate Times’s defense to this claim?
