Those picking up Friday's issue of the Daily in the dining halls may have noticed opinion pieces printed on standard printer paper and inserted into the Daily. The Daily had no prior knowledge of these pieces before they were brought to our attention.
The individuals who rummaged through our finished product to insert their own writings and present them as part of the Daily were extremely disrespectful.
The Daily strongly advocates campus dialogue. That is why we welcome letters to the editor and op-eds, where anyone from an incoming freshman to University President Anthony Monaco can share their thoughts with the print and online readership of the Daily. Through extensive editorial scrutiny, we strive to make sure everything in the Daily is 100 percent factually correct, a process the pieces appearing in Friday's paper were not subjected to.
We would have welcomed the pieces in question as op-eds, and I would encourage the authors to, next time, submit them to oped@tuftsdaily.com, instead of subverting the hours upon hours of work that we put into each and every issue.
Sincerely,
Carter Rogers
Editor-in-Chief
