Why Princeton needs opinion journalism

Charlie Yale and Lily Halbert-Alexander
| OPINION | 1 day ago

Engaging with Opinion — whether through reading or writing — brings you into closer contact with campus discourse. Just as news reporters provide unbiased coverage on campus developments, we work to communicate to our readers what these events mean for their lives, and how current campus issues might intersect with their own values and roles in the community.

At its next meeting, Princeton’s Environmental Safety and Risk Management (ESRM) committee will consider a change to the University’s current e-bike policy.

When students assume that grading is ideologically motivated and in bad faith — and when they choose to take these concerns straight to reactionary publications that have it out for higher education instead of engaging in productive dialogue with the members of the University community — our ability to have academically fulfilling conversations begins to slip away.

Vote ‘yes’ on Referendum No. 1: Princeton should not own a fossil fuel company

Fossil fuel companies have abandoned their deceptive climate pledges, and the Trump administration is cracking down on climate research. As governments and corporations abandon climate action, Princeton must step up as a leader on the issue.

It is not Marschall who bothers me most, although he certainly bothers me quite a bit. It’s the conditions that allow for Marschall to cause great harm and strain to the University — including the Trump administration and the right-wing media machine — even though he is not affiliated with it.
