FREE SPEECH ISSUES

Bucknell University values free speech and academic freedom.  It does not engage in any prior review of The Bucknellian, nor does it censor content, relying rather on the good judgment of Bucknell students to follow journalistic ethical guidelines, good taste and compassion.  Since the paper is a public forum in the tradition of the free press, it strives to separate itself from the pressure of all factions and from governance groups.  For this reason, The Bucknellian is distanced from University administrative offices as well as from the student government and other students associations, both in its operations and its line of oversight.  It is always desirable for a student newspaper to preserve its autonomy, and thus freedom of the press, by avoiding conflicts of interest and by safeguarding itself from restraints, censorship or harassment.

WEB COMMENT POLICY

The Editorial Board of The Bucknellian reserves the right to remove any comments if deemed offensive, illegal, or in bad taste.
