EDITORIAL
POLICIES REGARDING SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS SUBMISSIONS:
Requests for article/photo space must be submitted to
the editor, except in instances when invitations to submit
material has been extended. Responses to any published
material will be considered for publication on a space-available
basis.
DEADLINES:
The materials must be received by the deadlines specified.
If the materials have not been received by the specified
deadlines, the department will proceed with the production
of Campus News under the assumption that a decision was
made against having the item in the particular issue for
which the deadline was not met.
BYLINES:
The author or authors of an article, letter or column
will have his, her or their bylines published. Columns
submitted without bylines will not be published. Columns
written by a committee or group should include identification
of the specific individuals in the committee or group
members.
MATERIAL
CONTENT: Material may address controversial issues
of widespread interest. However, materials that are deemed
by the Public Affairs Department to be attacks on individuals,
or about specific personnel grievances that should best
be addressed through other appropriate University channels,
will not be published.
MATERIAL
STYLE: The editor reserves the right to edit for length
and style, according to the Associated Press Stylebook.
GENERAL
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Material will not be published
if, in the opinion of the editor, it is determined to
be potentially libelous. Material must not violate any
postage, copyright or libel laws, or rights to privacy
as described by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (also known as the "Buckley Amendment"),
and as applied through the Student Records Policy that
is published in the UNM Pathfinder, as well as comparable
policies for faculty and staff as described in the UNM
Faculty Handbook, and the Personnel Information Disclosure
Policy in the Employee Records Section of the UNM Business
Policies Manual. Columns deemed to be in violation of
the laws and policies cited above will not be published.
