In March 2010, following a student referendum, the Tribune severed its ties with the Students' Society of McGill University (SSMU), which had previously published the newspaper.[1] The newspaper is now published by the Tribune Publication Society - a non-profit, independent students' society.[2]
In April 2017, it published "It doesn't matter because it didn't happen on campus," an investigative news story by Shrinkhala Dawadi (former news editor and managing editor) and Julia Dick (then Editor-in-Chief). This story was picked up by the CBC, the Globe & Mail, and the Montreal Gazette.
