Though most Opinion columnists' thoughts appear weekly on the Opinion page, The Cavalier Daily also offers biweekly columns from a few special contributors.
What makes these contributors different from our normal columnists? Like normal columnists, special contributors are selected by the Opinion editors and the executive editor; however, they are not members of The Cavalier Daily's official staff and do not have to meet the same conflict of interest guidelines other columnists must follow. While normal Opinion columnists generally may not write about other organizations in which they participate, for example, biweekly special contributors may write about the community organizations in which they are involved and issues that affect them — so long as the columns do not simply turn into advertisements for certain groups or causes.
The Cavalier Daily currently has two special contributors: Brooke Howard from the Black Student Alliance and Carlos Oronce of the Minority Rights Coalition. We are open to incorporating more special contributors, so if you are interested in this type of position, we invite you to contact our executive editor, Daniel Colbert, to learn more.
