Dear campus community,
The Executive Board of The Miscellany News has received a handful of individual requests in recent weeks related to the privacy and safety of The Misc’s contributors.
We recognize that, owing to federal action taken against college students and professors on campuses across the United States, these are fraught and uncertain times for many people within our own community. We have been carefully following this news alongside the evolving approaches of student-run newspapers at peer institutions.
As we continue to report on these changes and write stories detailing campus events and climate, we would like to remind you, the Vassar community, that The Misc intends to serve as a protective resource enabling the free self-expression of all Vassar community members. We strive to protect our writers and sources through discussion between the relevant editors and themselves, including the use of anonymous interviews. We intend to honor editorial requests related to our campus community members’ safety and privacy.
This update does not serve as a final account or comprehensive comment upon the above-mentioned circumstances. If you have an inquiry regarding these topics and wish to connect with our paper’s Executive Board, please contact misc@vassar.edu with any and all questions.
In community,
Allen Hale, Editor-in-Chief
Clara Alger, Managing Editor
Maryam Bacchus, Senior Editor
