An open letter to Ashley Schofield, Editor in Chief, Poly Post:

Will you please train your staff to write accurate headlines?

In your first issue you listed our university as the sixth best public university in the nation, which would place it in the same league as Berkeley and UCLA.

This in fact is not true and you know it.

In issue number three your lead headline reads: "FOUR COLLEGES TO BE DISSOLVED."

This is news to Chancellor Reed and President Ortiz. as your own article states this is only a PROPOSAL.

How do Poly Post staffers expect to get any kind of job in journalism with this kind of record regarding accuracy?

The campus community deserves a response.
