Dear Editor, I am Darnell Carson, and I am writing on behalf of myself and my roommate, Sarah Ondak, both current residents of Terra, known on campus colloquially as the “queer co-op.” We read the magazine article, “Queer Cohesion,” and while we felt many valid points and opinions were made and presented, we felt uncomfortable with…

I am writing to register my disgust that the University and its Economics Department have determined that a registered sex offender is an appropriate visiting scholar (“Econ visiting scholar, a registered sex offender, permitted to complete term as scheduled,” from The Daily on May 29). I write you in a state of distress. Since seeing…

Shame on The Stanford Daily for publicly shaming a Stanford employee, a one-time sex offender who long ago paid his debt to society and now poses no apparent threat to anyone at Stanford or anywhere else.  This is vigilante journalism of the worst kind. Theodore L. Glasser  Professor Emeritus Department of Communications

Dear editors, I was very sorry to read your two recent articles, “Following accusations of insensitivity and vulgarity in class, Native American studies professor is no longer teaching course” on Jan.14 and “After ‘insensitive’ course delisted by Native American Studies program, English department chair scheduled to meet students” on Jan. 21. No doubt, your reporting…

Claire Wang’s “Title IX doesn’t cover emotional abuse. What happens when student organizations are left to manage it on their own?” fails to productively answer the crucial question posed in its title. Instead the article neglects a broader perspective and approaches serious abuse allegations using a sensationalist, one-sided deluge of personal history; Amanda Spyropoulos details…

•

A recent Daily article by Claire Wang describes (in lengthy and sometimes graphic detail) a situation of alleged emotional abuse, not covered by Title IX, and asks the question “What happens when student organizations are left to manage [cases like this] alone?” The focus of the article, however, seems to be less how the student…

•

Claire Wang’s “Title IX doesn’t cover emotional abuse. What happens when student organizations are left to manage it on their own?” details the student organization Common Origin’s response to alleged emotional abuse between two of its members. The article’s staggering amount of detail undermines any pretense of anonymity and implicitly invites readers to judge for…

In the past month Stanford in Government (SIG) and Stanford Votes – a faculty, student, and staff non-partisan effort – have effectively raised awareness about the low level of student voter participation (20 percent in prior mid-term elections). Thanks to their efforts, well over 1800 students have already registered to vote via https://stanford.turbovote.org/, far exceeding past election year…

Members of the Math department respond to the Editorial Board's piece on lecture classes, saying the opinion misrepresented MATH 51.

Thank you to the women who organized the campaign to Recall Persky and the thousands of my neighbors who made the historic win possible. We have proved that just like reproductive rights, gun control and other issues, violence against women is a voting issue. Candidates who want the vote of women and our allies better…

A defense lawyer and a local resident weigh in against the measure to recall Judge Aaron Persky.

•

As the person who organized the Apr. 30 panel, "Fuzzy and Techie: A False Divide?" I would like to address some of the misunderstandings that seem to have surfaced about the purpose of this event and the composition of the panel.

•

"We are not advocating for lengthy prison sentences, mass incarceration or mandatory minimums," the co-chair of the Committee to Recall Judge Persky says.

•

I want judges who strive to do justice in the individual case, not judges who see their job as curing social ills or sending messages to potential offenders who are not before them.

•

A reader wonders why a panel on the so-called techie-fuzzy divide "would not include one humanist."

•

A Palo Alto resident explains why she will be voting to recall Judge Persky on June 5.

•

The article which The Stanford Daily recently published today regarding my email asking for help with the Stanford College Republicans’ party during Admit Weekend was badly misunderstood, and I would like to submit a clarifying remark.

•

I'm intimately familiar with the cycle of recklessness and impunity that characterizes Stanford frat life.

•

I read with great dismay that Stanford is discontinuing its study abroad programs for undergraduates in Russia. Stanford is making a mistake, and its students will be worse off for it.

•

Dear Daily Editors, We read with concern your Feb. 20 article on endowment investments. While we understand that these financial topics are complex, your article was inaccurate and misleading, and we believe it is important to set the record straight on a number of points. Stanford’s endowment is invested through various very common legal entities.…

Editor’s note: This letter was originally posted as a comment here and is republished as a letter to the editor at the author’s request. Dear Stanford Daily editor: It is always upsetting to be alerted to the publication of negative news about a colleague and friend. But when I received word that an article had just…

•

To the editor: The student protest of “hate speech” disguised as free speech was indeed an eloquent statement and void of shouting and/or disruptive behavior, the latter of which was the response some desired. Their direct action expressed in “shoe leather” was a both sophisticated and eloquent statement to Mr. Spencer and those who invited…

•

To the editor: I was a graduate student at Stanford during the Vietnam War years and, like H. Bruce Franklin, was active in the antiwar movement for much of that time. Anna-Sofia Lesiv’s story on Franklin (“Stanford’s rebels,” Nov. 15) is troubling for its inaccuracies, but not for its conclusion: If our era’s activism is to…
