I cannot recall the last time I read a positive column about Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow’s greatest flaw in the public eye has been her inability to relate with others, more so thanatypicalHollywood celebrity.

Disinvestment is an empty moral gesture

By Uwe Reinhardt It is always to be welcomed when students give written or spoken expression to their moral sentiments on issues outside the University’s comfortable cocoon and debate these sentiments in a manner that befits a great university. At the same time, it is less heartening when these expressions lead to facile and morally empty policy recommendations for the operation of the University at large. From the viewpoint of an economist, for example, having the University’s investment arm, PRINCO, rid itself of the stock certificates on a set of companies whose role in Israel and the West Bank is deplored by the advocates of disinvestment strikes me as such an empty gesture. One certainly can debate this issue from a strictly partisan basis, favoring one side or the other, as different factions on this campus have amply done. One can also debate whether it is reasonable to force upon the University community a general policy on which that community is as sharply divided as it is on this issue.

A responsibility not to divest

By Caroline Snowden '17 When we signed "Rights, Rules, Responsibilities" at the beginning of our freshman year, we committed ourselves to creating a “community in which all members can participate fully and equally.” As Princetonians, we are both honored and compelled to be part of this effort for positive impact in our school, our country and the world. It is therefore imperative that, when our Princeton community is challenged to respond to a complex and divisive issue, we remember our promise.

Editorial: Eisgruber and hate speech

Informed dissent is not racism
