Communications Board
The Communications Board is the advisory board for issues concerning the publishing of the College newspaper, The Prospector, and the College literary magazine, Colours. The Communications Board assists the editors of the publications in establishing editorial policy. The Board hears grievances against student publications and media and makes recommendations for responses to these grievances.
The Communications Board uses the Carroll College Mission Statement as the guide for establishing editorial policy, which expresses:
- A commitment to freedom of inquiry;
- A special obligation to recognize and respect the teachings of the Catholic Church;
- A respect for each individual person’s right to life, to personal and social dignity, and equality of opportunity;
- A recognition of call to service of the College community; and
- A commitment to allow open participation and dialogue by members of all religious faiths and all persons of good will.
The membership of the Board is composed of the student editors of the publications, the Director of Student Activities and Leadership, two student representatives chosen by the ASCC, one member of the ASCC executive branch, and the advisors of the publications. The chairperson shall be elected from among the members.
