While elite academia has always been greased by the philanthropy of the wealthy, students — like our professors and our institution — are not morally exempt from critically examining the sources and use of our educational funding, especially when that funding is provided on the pretense of a certain political purpose.

The clemency program counteracts this injustice, reuniting families with their loved ones and strengthening the greater New Jersey community. As members of this community, we recognize our personal stake in the continuation of clemency by supporting this program.

Fundamentally, a living wage is humane. In exchange for their indispensable work, Princeton’s workers deserve to be able to afford their basic needs.
We need to implement a living wage at Princeton, now. It is a common-sense, low-cost policy that we should all get behind.

AI is useful in the humanities: in literature, it can identify trends across centuries with textual analysis, analyze emotional states, and handle routine tasks. Instead of an outright ban, humanities scholars and social scientists should recognize where AI can be constructive by building on human analysis instead of just being a shortcut.
