The Editorial Board calls on the University to impose a blanket P/D/F policy for all students.
Casually timing your consumption of news is doable, and it stops you from sacrificing chunks of your day to get over-read instead of well-read.
Our “belief” that this year’s room draw process “will run smoothly” isn’t based on pure optimism, but rather the culmination of several months of work and advocacy.
Whatever my political preferences are, I should be given the same opportunity as any other American to choose from the wide array of candidates.
How we navigate those far-reaching implications is a story worth telling. In the coming weeks, our staff will seek to render visible students’ experiences, from the consequential to the lighthearted.
The Editorial Board supports this petition and enjoins the University to act on its demands.
Year after year, we must identify and confront the inherent prejudice and inflexibility of our political process. As each groundbreaking candidate pushes the possibilities further and further, it’s in our hands to ensure their equal access to success.
This is an unprecedented time in Princeton’s history, and we trust that the University is working to promote the safety of our community.
We stand by the decision of the Class Day Co-Chairs and throw our unwavering support behind Marshawn Lynch.
The few voices which were upset at the decision to bring Marshawn Lynch to speak for Class Day are not representative of all of Princeton campus, but they do succeed in reinforcing elitist stereotypes and cynical exclusivism.
To argue that Mr. Lynch does not represent the student body is to argue that the backgrounds of people like myself are not valuable. The background of Mr. Lynch not being that of a “typical” Princeton student is in fact one of the strongest reasons for my excitement at his acceptance of this role.
Those few students, no matter how vocal, did not truly speak for “us,” the University community, nor the approximately 1,300 members of the senior class.
I can’t cure whatever it is that’s making me feel sick today. Awareness of that forces me to step back for a moment and wonder: if I can’t fix this, should I spend my time and energy getting upset about it?
This Board opposes qualified immunity on principle and finds no reason for the University to support the expansion of this practice.
The idea that athletes have nothing productive to add to our national conversation and that their intelligence begins and ends with their ability to run routes and read defenses shapes the way many people think about even our most dominant sports figures.
Unfortunately, the open letter shifted the conversation away from the celebration of the perspective that Mr. Lynch will bring to Class Day, and toward a troubling implication as to the concept of “worthiness” in addressing our class.
Only by raising the next generation of church leaders in this conviction will we achieve these much-needed reforms, and that starts with each of us vowing to remain in the church.
As students at a demanding university with high expectations, we shouldn’t be manipulated into thinking that it is a waste to take time to recuperate and to explore interests outside our own academic sphere.
Both mechanical pencils and standard pencils require a certain degree of maintenance; while the regular sharpening of standard pencils is certainly more frequent than lead replacement in mechanical pencils, replacing lead is significantly less cathartic of an activity as grinding down a pencil.
The inevitable question then, when all is said and done, is the following: if not ours, whose interests does the University serve?
