Letters to the Editor: To further its commitment to ongoing open communication, the Berkeleyan publishes letters to the editor. Letters are limited to 250 words and will be subject to editing. Letters should address issues and ideas of general interest to the campus and must avoid personal criticism. Opinion Columns: Faculty and staff are encouraged to write in-depth guest opinion columns not to exceed 750 words on issues of broad interest. Columns may be edited. To Submit a Letter or Opinion Column: You may send letters by campus mail: Letters--Berkeleyan Office of Public Affairs 2200 Bancroft Way, #4204 Berkeley, CA 94720-4204 You may also submit letters via e-mail to berkeleyan@berkeley.edu. Faculty and staff interested in writing guest opinion columns should contact Editor Jonathan King at (510) 643-4654, or by e-mail at jfking@berkeley.edu. Other Info: Letters to the editor and opinion columns may be submitted by current or retired faculty and staff, with the opportunity for students to participate from time to time. Because of limited space, the Berkeleyan may not be able to print all letters or opinion columns submitted and may have to limit the number of letters on one subject or from one contributor. Submissions must be signed; the author's name will be published.
