The importance of clarifying consent

At Princeton, where students are responsible for completing extensive educational courses on sexual assault before even enrolling in classes, and where student-run organizations dedicated to combating assault on campus abound, characterizing consent remains a touchy and controversial subject.Although sexual assault victims don't always say no, they also don't always exude enthusiasm and affirmative interest.

Leveling the precept playing field

A few days ago, after spending much of fall break recovering from the waves of pre-midterm stress, I was finally coherent enough to talk with some fellow classmates about the tests, what we thought of them and how well (or poorly) we thought we did on the exams (we may or may not have also taken bets on how low the curve would be). From the conversations I had, it became readily evident that we all utilized largely the same resources when preparing for the midterm — the same practice tests and previous exams on Blackboard, the same notes and class materials, the same textbooks and reading materials, the same office hours.

Letter to the Editor: Princeton is not for profit

To the Editor: The Daily Princetonian has published several articles recently that refer to a lawsuit filed in New Jersey tax court that challenges Princeton University’s exemption from taxes on properties that support its educational mission. To prevail, the plaintiffs will need to persuade the court that Princeton has ceased to be an educational institution and instead has become an entity whose dominant motive is to make a profit.
