Michigan Today letters and comments policy

View our privacy policy

Michigan Today encourages visitors to share their stories and opinions. We welcome debate, criticism, and encouragement.

We offer three venues for contributions: Letters to the Editor, Alumni Notes, and Your U-M History. Letters to the Editor are for responses to content in the magazine and about the University of Michigan. Alumni Notes are personal updates for public dissemination. Your U-M History is a forum for sharing personal stories and anecdotes about the university's past.

All forums are moderated and vetted. Comments are not posted directly to the web but passed by an editor for approval.

Michigan Today reserves the right to edit submissions for length and typos.

All contributors must provide their full name. Contact information is optional.

As a publication of the University of Michigan we share the university's commitment to free, open, and passionate debate. We welcome and will publish criticism of the university's policies and decisions.

We will not, however, publish personal attacks on our staff, faculty, alumni, or, especially, students. We expect that all opinions will be submitted respectfully, no matter how strongly held. We will not publish inappropriate material, which includes but is not necessarily limited to:

  • ad hominem attacks on any person,
  • vulgar language,
  • potential libel or slander,
  • any insult or insinuation against any student of the university,
  • other matters deemed inappropriate by the editor.

We do not publish commenters' email addresses.

Any commenter wishing to have their posting removed may email the editor at Mtoday@umich.edu and we will un-publish the posting as soon as possible.
