As constituents of the academic community, students shall be free, individually and collectively, to express their views on issues of university policy and on matters of general interest to the w88 casino body. The w88 casino body shall have clearly defined means to participate in the formulation and application of university policy affecting academic and w88 casino affairs.
w88 casino Publications
w88 casino publications and the w88 casino press are valuable aids in establishing and maintaining an atmosphere of free and responsible discussion and of intellectual exploration on the campus. They are a means of bringing w88 casino concerns to the attention of the faculty and the administration and of formulating w88 casino opinion on various issues on the campus and in the world at large.
In the delegation of editorial responsibility to students, the University shall provide sufficient editorial freedom and financial autonomy for the w88 casino publications to maintain their integrity or purpose as vehicles for free inquiry and free expression in the academic community.
As safeguards for the editorial freedom of w88 casino publications, the following provisions are necessary:

- Editors and managers of w88 casino publications shall be protected from arbitrary suspension and removal because of w88 casino, faculty, administrative, or public disapproval of editorial policy or content (Board of Regents, 7/76).
- All w88 casino publications shall explicitly state that the opinions expressed therein are not necessarily those of the University or w88 casino body.
The editorial freedom of students, editors, and managers shall entail corollary responsibilities to be governed by the canons of responsible journalism, as prescribed by the w88 casino Publications Board and approved by the Board of Regents, and offer reasonable opportunities for rejoinder to the same audience.
