Some Boston-area college bookstores ban Rolling Stone issue featuring Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev cover

College bookstores in Boston and surrounding communities have reacted differently as they handle Friday’s release of the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, which features a controversial cover showing the face of accused Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Some local campus stores will not sell the magazine issue at all. Some will keep a stock hidden and available by request only. Others will allow the copies to be sold and displayed as they usually are.

Northeastern University tweeted Thursday afternoon that it had pulled the issue from its bookstore. A spokeswoman there Friday, confirmed the copies had been removed from the store’s shelves.

The head of the campus bookstore at the University of Massachusetts Amherst said Friday that his shop plans to send back any shipments of the magazine’s August issue.

“We’re not going to have it on the shelf,” store director Ken Kahler said by phone Friday. “We’ll just return it to [the distributor.]”

A supervisor from Boston University’s bookstore said by phone Friday that the issue will be in stock at the store and available to purchase, but it won’t be displayed anywhere in plain sight.

“If someone specifically asks for it, we will get them a copy,” said the supervisor, who declined to give their name. “But, we will not have it in the out and open.”

The Coop at Harvard and MIT issued a statement Friday saying the store will sell the magazine as it normally does even though shop management opposes the cover of the August issue.

“We think Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a despicable human being and we do not agree with Rolling Stone Magazine’s decision to feature his picture on their front cover,” the store said in a statement.
