Collegian Editorial Policy

The opinions expressed in opinion and editorial articles published through the Collegian reflect the views of the authors and are not necessarily those of the Collegian staff. The Collegian reserves the right to reject letters to the editor. All letters must be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief of the Collegian, and they must include the name of the individual or group responsible for reasons of verifying authenticity. Letters with inaccuracies will be corrected by the staff, returned to the author or rejected. Letters must be limited to 600 words or less. If the author(s) wish to remain anonymous, the editors will decide if it is pertinent to do so. No letters will be published with the author’s name against his or her will, but the staff may not publish the letter if it decides the name should be printed and the author still wishes to remain anonymous. Anonymity is a privilege granted to the author of a letter who may be persecuted or discriminated against as a result of the content of the letter.
