 The publication at UCSD was one of a handful of campus newspapers partly or entirely funded by the Associated Students of UCSD, until a decision by AS UCSD to defund all 13 student media outlets.The paper still exists as a registered student organization.SDSU's branch of "The Koala" at one point operated within SDSU Associated Students as a Recognized Student Organization (RSO) until that status was revoked in 2007.
