Letter to the Editor

The Eagle aims to serve as a forum for discourse and debate for the University community. As such, anyone may write a letter to the editor (about 300 words) or opinion piece (about 500-800 words) on any topic to be printed in The Eagle.

All submissions must be original to The Eagle (no mass e-mails or pieces submitted to other publications) and become the property of The Eagle. Unsigned letters will not be published.

Students who submit letters or opinion pieces must include name, year and school (ex: Anne Godlasky, senior, SOC and CAS). Anyone who submits a letter or opinion piece must include their phone numbers and e-mail address, which will not be published.

The Editorial Page Editor and the Editor in Chief reserve the right to edit columns and letters to the editor for libel, length or style, but not for content. The decision to publish a letter to the editor or opinion piece ultimately falls to the Editor in Chief.

Letters and opinions critical of The Eagle are published.

The deadline for letters and opinion pieces is 7 p.m. on the Thursday before the Monday publication or the Monday before the Thursday publication.

Eagle editors are always anxious to hear from readers about how we can improve, so please feel free to submit suggestions about The Eagle’s publication or operation. If you do not want your comments to be printed or posted, simply specify “NOT FOR PUBLICATION.”
