Cav Daily Alters Comics Policy

In the lead editorial today, The Cavalier Daily sets out changes made to the paper's comics policy. In short, the policy now calls for comics to meet the paper's standards of taste and states that the "sole purpose of the cartoon must not be merely to offend or provoke."

I think this is a great change that will help the paper avoid the kinds of comic controversies that have distracted (and even imperiled) it several times over the past few semesters. It's also quite similar to the alterations I suggested after the most recent dust-up over comics.

Yo,

I'm at your blog via the email you sent out to the UDems chatlist (I'm also in the third-year PST class). I like what you have here, and if you're interested, I have a blog hosted on wordpress:

The United States of Jamerica

You should check it out.
