The Fed is an "alternative" campus newspaper, in the sense that it's rather different to the Columbia Spectator. It was founded in 1986 by "a libertarian, a conservative, and a socialist (although no one knows which was which)". One of them, Neil Gorsuch, is now a federal court judge, which some consider ironic.
