A group of student editors form the editorial board of the Baylor Lariat. They meet weekly to discuss issues and events affecting their community. The board's goal is to write about relevant topics, whether serious or lighthearted.

Their editorials reflect the collective opinion of the board members, which may not be unanimous. The editorial board is comprised of students who write for their peers. Further information about the editorial board and their goals can be found in their introduction to the new academic year, where they welcome students back to campus.
