Muslims are Americans too

It’s hard to explain why anti-Muslim sentiment is on the rise, but I suspect it has to do with our new definition of “politically correct.” Slowly, the boundaries of political correctness have expanded to include anti-Muslim comments.

In that case, just double tuition?

The point is that if there is a good reason that this University exists as an institution of higher education and not a poverty-relief fund, then it seems highly questionable that it has any business using its means to create a warm glow of charity which makes the ivory tower of learning look a little more like a soup kitchen.

Editorial: Lecturing to a wider audience

Not everyone is lucky enough to attend this university, but that does not mean that those who do not study here cannot be given the opportunity to take advantage of some of Princeton’s intellectual wealth. Providing online access to lectures and course materials for a small fee would allow the University to provide this public good in a budget-neutral way. The University should initiate this program with all reasonable haste and make available as many lectures as is practical.

My complete works

Please, bear these rules in mind, and remember that a junior professor who meets these criteria will write a much more effective letter than a famous person who doesn’t. You’ll get the recommendations you deserve, and I’ll be able to spend a little less time rounding up the usual suspect adjectives — and a little more doing justice to the people for whom I should be writing.

Editorial: A more rational lockout policy

Students who are locked out of their room during normal business hours must now borrow a temporary key from the housing office. If the key is not returned in 24 hours, they will be charged a $75 fee to change the lock. Beginning in the spring semester, the Undergraduate Housing Office plans to implement a fee schedule for lockouts. The new policy is misguided, and the University should seriously consider alternatives.
