Since 1978 we have been an autonomous publication, independent of the Student Union. Today we are registered society under the Society Act of British Columbia, governed by a board of directors. The Other Press is published weekly during the fall and winter semesters, and monthly during the summer. We receive our funding from a student levy collected through tutition fees every semester at registration, and from local and national advertising revenue. The Other Press is a member of the 2 Canadian University Press (CUP), a cooperative of student newspapers from across Canada. The Other Press reserves the right to choose what we will publish, and we will not publish material that is racist, sexist, homophobic, or condones or promotes illegal activities.
