Inside View Guidelines

Inside View provides a forum for opinions and commentary from Clemson faculty, staff and students about issues that affect the university and this community — a written version of what is being discussed around the water cooler or coffee pot.

We’re looking for spirited, provocative essays on subjects that will promote enlightened discussion. We’re open to a broad range of topics — both serious and humorous — except for party politics and religion.

Submitting an Inside View

Make your point in 700 words or less. Submissions must be the writer’s original ideas.

Send your article electronically as a Word document attachment to Inside@clemson.edu.

Include your name, job title, department and daytime phone numbers where we can contact you.

You must be willing to be identified as the author. We do not publish anonymous or pseudonymous articles.

We will edit all commentary pieces before they are published so that the articles conform to editorial styles and standards of readability. You will have an opportunity to review and approve the edited version before it appears on the Web page.

Inside Clemson reserves the right to reject articles it considers unsuitable, including those that violate university Web policies, contain false and malicious statements about individuals or include content that is inappropriate.
