Sidechat and Fizz show us why we need to take control of our social media use

Christopher Lidard

“The rampant adoption of these platforms highlights a need for people to be cautious before diving headfirst into any new technology, especially given these apps’ concerning new marketing tactics and their highly anonymous, hollowed-out form of social connection.”

As Princeton looks to the future, current students are deprioritized

As Princeton looks to the future, current students are deprioritized

Tara Shukla

“In the process of transforming campus to align with its future expansion goals, Princeton is actually making things worse for its current occupants. True adherence to its campus mobility principles would mean that the University prioritizes a usable campus for its current residents, not just future students.”

Letter to the Editor: Princeton-Blairstown Center prioritizes community building in CA

Community Action Trip to PBC

Letter to the Editor: Princeton-Blairstown Center prioritizes community building in CA

Pam Gregory and Mark DeBiasse

“While service has always been integral to the CA orientation week, it has purposefully taken a back seat to community building. PBC’s ropes and challenge course activities, canoeing, problem-solving initiatives, and hikes are intentionally designed to build strong, lasting CA group relationships and bonds.”

With antisemitism on the rise, Princeton is not immune

Charlotte Pfenning

“Princeton hosts a large and vibrant Jewish community. The entire campus has a responsibility to protect these students — not to invalidate their experiences by turning consequential threats of violence into an Instagram meme.”

The n-word is not your educational tool

The n-word is not your educational tool

Daily Princetonian Editorial Board

“There is no good reason for a white professor to use the n-word in the classroom. Time and time again, student experiences have shown that there is no educational or truth-seeking value gained from actively hearing hate speech.”

“There’s no scarcity of resources, service opportunities, or even time among students at Princeton. In thinking about students’ lack of service, we have only ourselves to blame.”

Rohit Narayanan

“The problem with Eisgruber’s logic isn’t that Princeton students don’t sympathize with the fear of academic mediocrity. It’s that we feel it deeply.”

Why are Freshman Seminars not automatically PDF’d?

Why are Freshman Seminars not automatically PDF’d?

Eric Xie

“Automatically PDF-ing freshman seminars would lower stress levels for first-years as they transition into the notoriously rigorous academic environment that Princeton boasts. PDF-only freshman seminars would not be an extra burden on top of that overwhelming stress, but rather, a way to understand and appreciate the beauty of learning.”

Theater excellence can’t come at the cost of student performers’ mental health

Rafael Collado

“The theater professionals at Triangle conveyed through their actions that they prefer to treat stressed college students participating in an extracurricular activity as full-time professional actors, pushing them to their physical and mental limits, and tossing them aside when they can no longer keep up.”

With the IHRA definition of antisemitism, the CJL alienates left-wing Jewish students

Guest Contributors

“In prioritizing the protection of Zionism over the protection of Jewish students on this campus, the CJL betrays the cause it claims to care so much about. The Princeton Jewish community, and Princeton students in general, deserve better than this political stunt masquerading as an attempt to fight antisemitism.”

Princeton’s divestment and dissociation announcement charts a path towards a fossil free campus

Nate Howard and Alex Norbrook

“While Princeton’s current divestment policy makes huge leaps towards addressing the influence of the fossil fuel industry at our University, there is more work to do.”

Newer buildings must not stray from Princeton’s gothic roots

Prince Takano

“The [new colleges’] monochrome brick walls look like they were copy-pasted, and the buildings themselves are void of the artistic beauty that Princeton is known for. Why settle for less?”

Princeton must do more in its Indigenous advocacy efforts

Gisele Bisch

“As it stands, the University is doing nowhere near enough to educate its community about the Indigenous land it stands on or the Lenni-Lenape people native to it. Equally so, Princeton is not providing sufficient Indigenous educational resources to its full capacity.”
