Benjamin Dinovelli’s Sept. 11 opinion piece, "What’s wrong with cheating?", raises an important question about the University’s academic integrity policy with regard to student collaboration on coursework. The line between permissible and impermissible collaboration can indeed vary from course to course — and even assignment to assignment — depending on the faculty member’s specific learning goals for that course or assignment. As such, faculty members need to communicate their course policies clearly, and students need to make sure they understand those policies. The Office of the Dean of the College has posted a shortvideoin which students and faculty discuss examples of collaboration that might fall into the gray area or in fact cross the line. We encourage your readers to watch the video and then use it as a springboard for further conversations across campus this fall.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth L. Colagiuri
Associate Dean of the College

Campus through a lens: Announcing the ‘Prince’s inaugural columnists
Eleanor Clemans-CopeReading a series of columns by the same author is seeing things through the writer’s lens — it’s looking at campus through the ‘Christofer glasses’ or the ‘Eleanor specs.’ This is the thinking behind having named columns.

Bring back the course packet
Abigail Rabieh“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.”

Community is built on empathy; stop politicizing it
Ava Johnson“The idea of creating “safe spaces” has been politicized and weaponized as part of a culture war when in reality it is merely a precursor to being in community with others.”
