Surrounded by tall trees with verdant green leaves, a white tent covers most of a grassy courtyard outside McCosh Hall. The sun shines through, and faint in the background, protesters are visible.

“By engaging in frenzied coverage, the ‘Prince’ contributed to the construction of a narrative that the fabric of the campus was torn apart by this encampment and helped create an environment in which advocacy for a change of the status quo in Gaza seemed to be the biggest issue on everybody’s minds. But this was not an accurate picture of what students experienced in Spring 2024.”

“It’s irresponsible for upperclassmen to spread a lie that consuming the resources of the University is amoral without additional posturing or political resolve. Moreover, the guide attempts to popularize a troubling attitude that presence in an institution like Princeton is inherently antagonistic, the purpose of which is to not learn, but win.”

“It’s too easy to leave Princeton without the transcendent liberal arts education that the University extols when the only intellectual guidance comes in the form of general platitudes and an inconstant and inadequate advising system.”

“With the recent news that Labyrinth Books will no longer supply the coursebooks for Princeton classes, we are facing a new era in which all readings will only be accessible by some digital medium, whether that be via Course Reserves or online ordering from faraway publishers. While some may see this as a step in the right direction of modernity, the increasing digitalization of our scholarship hurts our learning.”

“If the ‘Prince’ wants to cover issues beyond the Orange Bubble, it must make clear to its audience why these issues belong in the paper. Otherwise, its journalistic standards regarding its editorial scope must be called into question.”

“While this personal essay can be read as just another silly example of a writer unintentionally revealing their delirious worldview, her message to female Ivy League readers reflects an unconscionable acceptance of status-quo sexism and a serious lack of accountability for our duty to use our educational privilege productively and selflessly.”

“In conversations with former and current Humor writers, many shared the common complaint that members of Upper Management (UM) at the ‘Prince’ consistently limit the author’s freedom to choose what jokes to make and filter humorous content through a overwhelmingly progressive perspective focused on minimizing potential emotional responses to crafting an interesting point.”

“The legislation that the House passed, which promises to restrict the rights of Americans to listen to speech of all sorts as well as engage in information exchange on TikTok, is antithetical to the values of free speech Princetonians are taught to love. Such legislation should be strenuously opposed by us all ... as technologies evolve, Princetonians must ensure that our commitments to the values that render communities good and just evolve with them.”
