Student Publications Policy


Schreiner University sponsors the publication of a literary magazine and a newspaper by students. Student publications can report and record activities for the interest of students and the university; they can serve as a forum for independent views; they can encourage creative, progressive political, and critical thought; they can involve students in a wide range of activity.

Materials published by Schreiner University student publications will be only those written by students, faculty, or staff members. Generally, no outside materials will be included in student publications, with the occasional exception of syndicated features reprinted with permission of copyright holders.

Student publications should be an agent for change, not merely for criticism and negativity. Therefore, these publications favor critical writing that offers positive alternatives, but will not accept for publication slanderous personal attacks.

A statement of this policy will be included in student publications at least annually.

Offices for the publications listed below are located on the first floor of Cailloux Campus Activity Center. Students holding leadership positions for each publication will receive a Leadership Grant for their commitment and dedication.

The Muse, the University's literary magazine, provides a showplace for the artistic efforts--poems, essays, short stories, photography, and artwork--of students, faculty, and staff members.

The Mountaineer is the campus student newspaper. The staff is chosen in the fall, usually in the first two weeks of the fall term.
