objective?

for involvement in an illegal gambling ring. Today,
community leaders and university officials are claiming that

also be arrested. Dr. Harris, the department chairperson,
reports that Schuman has recently started holding group
tutoring sessions in his campus office in the evenings.
Video footage from security cameras outside the campus
building shows him exiting on several occasions with
some of the accused students. Although Shuman denies
the gambling ring allegations, he was most likely involved
with this illegal activity.

Answer:

The excerpt should be edited to make it more objective by removing the commentary that the professor is most likely involved in the gambling ring

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have an objective article, it is necessary to have evidence of the information that is being presented so it is written from the facts and not from the personal view or opinion of the author, commentaries, and opinions of others are not considered reliable information, then it can not be taken as an objective source.
