Editorial: Help The Kansan help you

Beginning next week on the opinion page this space will be filled with an editorial, which speaks as The Kansan’s opinion. The Editorial Board consists of six editors on The Kansan staff which decided to write about issues that matter the most to students at this university. We try to approach these issues from as unbiased a perspective as possible, and represent this publication’s stance on various topics.

We are the voice of The Kansan covering everything from political candidates and university faculty to valentine’s day and spring break. Anything that affects students and the University is editorial worthy.

That being said, we would like you to contribute. Any student, professor, faculty or community member is encouraged to send editorial ideas to opinion@kansan.com. Write EDITORIAL IDEA in the subject line. If you think we should be supporting or protesting a particular issue let us know. You are equally encouraged to tell us what you think about our past editorials. Email letters to the editor to opinion@kansan.com.

We’ll be here all semester long so help us help you, and together we can improve the University.

— Caitlin Thornbrugh for The Kansan Editorial Board
