Opinion: It’s time for Cal to return Native American remains
UC Berkeley has been the least compliant with the 1990 federal law that ordered the university to repatriate thousands of the remains to their biological and cultural descendants.
Opinion: Hopkins Street bike plan is an expensive mistake
The plan doesn’t consider the residents who need parking in front of their homes (caretakers, service vehicles, delivery trucks) or their ability to exit their driveways safely.
Opinion: Keep UC Berkeley’s libraries open
These libraries provide important work-study opportunities for undergraduates and host critical resources for graduate students to carry out research.
Op-ed Guidelines
Berkeleyside welcomes submissions of opinion pieces, which we publish at our discretion. They must be fact-based, with links and citations to substantiate arguments. We generally do not publish items that have appeared elsewhere and ask for two weeks’ exclusivity. If you do not hear back, assume we have decided to pass.
Topics should be Berkeley-related, local authors are preferred and anonymity is not allowed. We recommend 500-600 words and at least 72 hours’ notice. Please send Word or Google docs, not PDFs. Send your name, phone number and a one-line bio with all relevant disclosures to opinion@berkeleyside.org.
