Letters to the editor should be concise, typed, and
submitted by 5 p.m. Tuesday prior to publication by e-mail, hand delivery,
or mail. All letters must have names and contact information. Students,
please include your year and major(s).
1.
Write a
letter to the publication’s editor, describing the grievance, and a
suggested action for the editor to take. If the complainant wishes that
the letter to the editor not be printed in the publication, such a wish
must be explicitly stated in the letter.
2. If
the complainant is not satisfied with the editor’s response, he/she may
write the adviser of Campus Publications within five academic days of
the editor’s response. The adviser will arrange a joint meeting of the
involved staff persons and the complainant in order to resolve the
situation or, if the complainant wishes, the adviser will meet with the
complainant only. The results of such meetings will be documented for
the Board of Campus Publications, the complainant, and the editors
involved.
3. If
the complainant is still not satisfied and wishes to take his/her case
to the Board of Campus Publications, he/she may do so by writing the
chair (or, if one has yet to be elected, the convener) of the Board of
Campus Publications within five academic days of the meeting with the
adviser. If the complainant wants a response from the committee, that
wish must be explicitly stated in the letter.
4.
The chair
will arrange for the complainant’s grievance to appear on the next
agenda of the Board of Campus Publications meeting. The complainant may
be present at the meeting (notified by the adviser). The Board will
respond to the complainant within five days of this meeting.
