Before COVID-19 wrecked the spring semester, I set out to pull back the veil on Princeton’s admissions process.
We feel that we have not been prepared by the School to confront the structures of race and power which undergird policy crises.
Ressa and her colleagues at Rappler, who have unearthed many such abuses, are guilty only of holding Duterte to account.
We need you to speak up to promote environmental justice and to help preserve the integrity of our democracy.
Campus security should not mirror, let alone multiply, policing practices and forces.
As some of the oldest and most well-established organizations on campus, we recognize our and Princeton’s complex history with race and our role in directly recognizing and calling out the injustices that have impacted and continue to impact Black students.
As students, activists, and proponents of a better world, it is our duty to stand up against injustice and fight for the equal treatment of all.
Now more than ever, the University must drop and apologize for its desire to extend qualified immunity to Public Safety officers.
The humanities declined after the last recession. But coronavirus may be the chance to set up their resurgence.
Local communities should make their own decisions regarding re-opening.
May we look back at this pandemic as the moment we finally learned to value one another over marks on a transcript.
The administration is asking graduate students and University workers to bear the brunt of these costs, while shareholders and the endowment are insulated from the restructuring. The University is asking us to make “sacrifices” while it proceeds to sacrifice us.
It did not take a pandemic for queer people, especially those who must conceal their identities to survive, to endure the loneliness of alienation, secrecy, and heterosexist, violent hate.
Instead of addressing the inequities and burdens of online learning, the destabilizing effect of lost income or housing, or the trauma of a public health crisis, Betsy DeVos has devoted the Department of Education’s energy to making the Title IX process more difficult for survivors.
I agree with Hoffman that normalizing anti-Semitism on campus is tragic. So then why does this same standard not apply to College Republican events?
The pandemic should not be a farewell to traditional education in favor of innovative alternatives, but rather a temporary turn to the high-tech; from the pandemic, we can garner even more appreciation for the traditional educational methods that we will hopefully be returning to soon.
Though this Board commends efforts to minimize the transmission of COVID-19 on campus over the summer, we are deeply concerned by the large and seemingly arbitrary cost that the University is imposing on these students.
Though newspapers across the US, concerned activists, and even Princeton University itself decry the sexism in society in past and present against women, they nevertheless show evident favoritism in promoting men’s sports and in discreetly and subtly denouncing women’s athletics. This indifference only feeds the toxic anti-female environments that flourish around the world.
I love myself, and loving also means accepting that my weight is going to fluctuate being home.
Imagine the kind of example that the University could set by using its vast resources to reinforce an ethic of care in higher education. Imagine the kind of leadership that would show amid this historic crisis. What a shame, then, that our leadership chooses to do little instead.
