Syracuse University students are entering a campus reeling from the aftermath of the Theta Tau videos controversy, and after a turbulent end to the spring 2018 semester, The Daily Orange Editorial Board remains dedicated to delivering diverse and informed opinions to the SU community this fall.

The D.O. has served the greater Syracuse area for 114 years and went fully financially independent from SU in 1991. But The D.O. also shares its own voice through the organization’s editorial board. It’s a voice that strives to provide unbiased, comprehensive coverage of university community members’ perspectives.

We recognize the responsibility to address SU’s actions, administrative policies and any campus developments, especially after concerns of university-wide discrimination were raised by students following Theta Tau’s expulsion. The D.O. does not take this platform for granted.

As the voice of The D.O., the editorial board works to present the collective opinion of the paper. Those contributing to that voice include the the editor-in-chief, managing editor, news editor, feature editor, sports editor, presentation director, digital editor and three current or former members of the editorial staff.

The editorial editor chooses a topic of discussion based on current events concerning SU or the surrounding city. But the editorial editor does not contribute to the opinion of the board, instead consolidating other members’ opinions in a concise way.

To submit a possible topic of discussion for the editorial board, please email opinion@dailyorange.com. Equally important is the opportunity for your voice to be heard.  Letters to the editor can be submitted to opinion@dailyorange.com and may be published in The D.O.’s print edition or on dailyorange.com.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board serves as the voice of the organization and aims to contribute the perspectives of students to discussions that concern Syracuse University and the greater Syracuse community. The editorial board’s stances are determined by a majority of its members.
