CollegeACB's new boss seeks new direction for campus gossip site

The new proprietor of CollegeACB, a controversial online forum aimed at college students, promises reforms to "push the culture of the site in a more positive and productive direction."

We can only guide them to say better things," the owner says. "We think that we can develop tools that will highlight the good and decrease the bad." Inside Higher Ed
