The editorial board of The Guardian is the smaller, non-hierarchical, decision-making body of the full editors staff. This board acts and makes decisions in the best interest of The Guardian organization as an entity. As a college newspaper, this board is comprised of individual editors who have elected to serve in this extra capacity, not by position. All major decisions and editorial board publications receive approval from full editors. The positions taken by the editorial board are not necessarily representative of any particular individual member of The Guardian organization.
