In order to be considered for publication, letters must fulfill the following requirements:

1) Letters must be signed by their author(s). Each letter must bear the name of at least one individual. If the letter represents the viewpoints of an group, organization or corporation, the individual's affiliation will be noted at the bottom of the published piece. Multiple authors (generally three or fewer) will only be listed if each individual contributed equally to the writing of the letter. "Petition" signatures will not be published. To ensure accurate attribution, authors are encouraged to include their full name (including middle initial), class year (if a graduate or undergraduate of Harvard College), other Harvard or relevant affiliation(s), and the city and state from which you are writing. Please also include an e-mail address or evening phone number so that an editor may contact you if your letter is chosen for publication.

2) Letters must directly respond to pieces that have been previously published in The Crimson. This includes, but is not limited to, content in the daily sections and weekly supplements. Responses to advertisements will not be published. Comments about advertisement content may be directed to The Crimson's Business board.

3) Letters that point out factual misrepresentations or errors will not appear as letters to the editors, but may be published as clarifications or corrections in the news section of the daily paper.

4) All letters sent to "letters@thecrimson.com" are assumed to be sent for publication unless the letter explicitly states otherwise. General comments to the Editorial Board can be sent to editorial@thecrimson.com. If a letter is selected for publication, the author(s) will be notified. Letters may be edited at the discretion of the Editorial Board. Due to the volume of letters we receive, we regret that we may not acknowledge or return letters that will not be published, but all submissions are carefully read by a member of the Crimson staff.
