Princeton students are young. Our leading presidential candidates are not. With that fact in mind, it is crucial that we examine who might best represent us on the national stage in 2020.
Braden argues in his piece that since David served in the IDF, he is not fit for office at the University. This broad and sweeping generalization and rejection of all that the Israeli military accomplishes and stands for is tantamount to a call for its abolition.
Realizing that not everyone at Princeton concerned themselves with looking proper and that such concern would waste valuable time considering ever-important essays and problem sets have now fully validated my personal decision to no longer care about fashion.
The practices which Princeton employs currently — to make every service free, regardless of the resources used — are cultivating a wasteful mindset among us undergraduates which will end up costing us and the Earth more after graduation. Instead of allowing its students to be willfully ignorant within the Orange Bubble, the University should begin charging us on a usage basis, teaching us to be more conscientious and responsible citizens of this planet while helping us to save money in the long run.
Regardless of one’s personal views on the ongoing crisis in Hong Kong, it is imperative that the situation in Hong Kong serves as a warning for future conflict.
Anyone considering Esterlit's competence to bring about justice should examine his professed qualifications.
Sometimes what we need most is to know — rather than simply hope — that we’re not alone.

Not all women are mothers, or even primary caregivers. However, when the dominant culture pushes women into the primary caregiver role when they do choose to have children, institutions should restructure accordingly to allow those raising the next generation to contribute to knowledge production and pursue fulfilling careers.
Public service demands a commitment of the self and should be a position of honor and dignity that all aspire to in their professional careers beyond our four years at Princeton.
While Princeton’s research and teaching in the areas of climate change, decarbonization, and sustainability are commendable, the fact remains that Princeton’s investments do not align with the values and imperatives that rise from the knowledge it is producing and disseminating in these areas.
We have plenty of opportunities at Princeton to get to know our professors; we need only to take them.
“Ok, boomer” isn’t exacerbating the generational divide in a way that misnames the target of youth angst.
While it’s incredibly frustrating to see seemingly everyone get job offers (and the security that comes along with it), it would be far more frustrating to be applying to jobs in fields that aren’t relevant to our interests or skill sets.
My suggestion, though more modest, could lead to more radical outcomes for our privacy: change Tigerbook to a purely opt-in system.
If the goal of fire safety inspections is to stop violations that endanger the lives of the members of our community, then why should we not be willing to spend some more money in adopting a more effective — and more prudent — inspection policy?
We are eager to receive letters of nomination from members of the University community. Please send letters to pyneprize@princeton.edu by Monday, Jan. 6, 2020.
