In her hearing before the Senate, Secretary of Education nominee Betsy DeVos remarked that “assault in any form is never OK”, a claim about which she “want[s] to be very clear.” Yet despite her conviction, DeVos refuses to promise to uphold the Obama administration’s guidance on how schools should handle campus sexual assault.

The power of journalism lies in its ability to share people’s stories and raise their voices.

Dear Fellow Princetonians, As always, I am struck by how fast time flies at Princeton. I first wrote to you as an incoming Editor-in-Chief about a year ago, and today I am writing to say goodbye.
I am a friend of Wonshik Shin ’19. During the week of December 19 last year, I was privileged to have the opportunity to meet and accompany his parents during their visit to Princeton.
