Important Note on Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship Online and Print Publications
Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all articles, essays, and other content published online or in print by the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship (SOF), including on its website and related social media and in printed books and journals (e.g., The Oxfordian, the Shakespeare Oxford Newsletter, the Brief Chronicles book series, and other past or current publications of the SOF and related or predecessor organizations), express solely the personal views of the authors and the judgments of the respective editors (whether such authors or editors are identified or not), and do not reflect any official view, statement, or position of the SOF or its Board of Trustees. Authors should not be assumed to write as representatives of the SOF or any other organization or institution with which they may be affiliated. Affiliations, if any, are stated solely for informational purposes.
The policy of the SOF is to welcome a wide range of opinions and perspectives on the Shakespeare Authorship Question (SAQ). We strive to bring together a diverse community of all people of good will who wish to civilly, thoughtfully, and responsibly explore and debate the SAQ. We believe that harmonizes with the SOF Mission Statement. We thus maintain our online and print publications, to the extent reasonably possible (noting that some are highly selective, peer-reviewed, scholarly publications), as a free and open forum for civil, thoughtful, and responsible inquiry and expression reasonably relating to the SAQ, subject to the editorial judgments of their editors, who are appointed by and ultimately accountable to the SOF Board of Trustees.
While freely choosing this “open forum” approach as a general policy, the SOF asserts all its legal rights as a private nonprofit corporation, including, with regard to all its publications and related forms of expression, the same “freedom of speech” and “of the press” guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to all newspapers, publishers, journalists, authors, and individual or corporate speakers and writers. Thus, no one apart from the SOF itself has any legal or moral right, claim, or expectation of access to or use of the SOF online or print publication platforms, except as permitted in the sole judgment of the SOF editors and ultimately the SOF Board of Trustees.
