Dear readers,

Today Student Life published an op-ed piece titled “A letter to my rapist on his graduation,” written by an anonymous Washington University student, on our website. Student Life typically does not permit submissions to be run anonymously, but due to the sensitive and personal subject matter of the piece, we have made an exception for this article. It has been subjected to the same level of scrutiny and editing as all other op-eds published by Student Life. If you have any questions or concerns about this decision, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

Thank you for your understanding and continued readership,

Sam Seekings, Editor-in-Chief
