From time to time, the editorial page will publish a dissenting opinion to a staff editorial, especially when the feelings among those at editorial board meetings are closely divided. These “dissents” are short pieces signed by a few Crimson editors that offer a viewpoint substantially different from that expressed in the corresponding staff editorial. They are only published in response to staff editorials deemed by the editorial chairs to be of significant importance and only when the dissent offered is sufficiently original and thought-provoking...
