This week, the stalls of Firestone are full and campus is focused as students are preparing for the end of the semester and the ever-approaching finals period. In an attempt to improve the student experience around this time of the semester, on Feb. 16, Dean of the College Jill Dolan sent an email to the undergraduate student body announcing a pilot final exam schedule for the Spring 2024 semester. According to Dolan, this schedule allows “students to sit for up to two exams in a day, which will facilitate a more efficient exam period.” Ideally, this pilot schedule would help shorten the exam period in the spring, enabling students to finish the semester earlier, something that students were concerned about, according to the email. But this exam schedule has the potential to be detrimental both to students’ academic achievement and mental health during the exam period. Students’ wellbeing and academic success should take priority over efficiency — the University should maintain the old final exam schedule.
At 11:19 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, a student sent a message to a group chat called “Black Princeton” — a GroupMe chat with almost 1,000 members — requesting video footage from the occupation of Clio Hall on Monday, April 29 by pro-Palestinan protesters. Less than half an hour later, Abigail Anthony ’23, a reporter for the conservative news outlet The National Review, posted a screenshot of the message on X.

Outside organization hosts demonstration calling for removal of Mousavian: Your Daily ‘Prince’ Briefing
As a top institution of higher education, Princeton tries to do its best to prepare us for our future: offering career fairs, hosting resume writing sessions, and even offering Last Lectures about careers in local government. But there is one place where the University is falling short: preparing its students to form healthy relationships. There is a normalization of hookup culture at the University that is detrimental to many students’ long-term goals of healthy, sustainable relationships. The University must provide better resources in educating its student body about the potential social and emotional harms of hookup culture during freshman orientation and follow up in SHARE training material for upperclassmen and eating clubs. At the same time, it’s up to us to work towards forming healthy habits.
Hector Cueva-Becerra ’26 had never played an instrument before his sophomore year at Princeton.
On a sunny Saturday in Connecticut, No. 13 men’s lacrosse (9–4 overall, 4–2 Ivy League) toppled the No. 9 Yale Bulldogs (11–3 overall, 4–2 Ivy League) 15–8, sending themselves through to the Ivy League tournament.
In the Opinion piece written by President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 last week, Eisgruber articulated Princeton University’s restrictions on speech and emphasized Princeton’s right to “reasonably regulate the time, place, and manner of expression to ensure that it does not disrupt the ordinary activities of the University.” As a matter of law and administrative policy, President Eisgruber is correct. But restrictions on “disruption” to “ordinary activities” inherently suppresses the underlying intent of creating disruption of many protests that express progressive political views. This includes the University’s recent action taken against Princeton students’ sit-ins and protests on behalf of Gazans, victims of a military campaign — plausibly deemed genocidal — currently being waged by Israeli military forces. Not only do current regulations on “disruption” effectively prohibit impactful expression about progressive concerns, but — contrary to President Eisgruber’s assertions — these regulations are inherently not “viewpoint-neutral.” In fact, these rules stifle progressive speech, which is often accompanied by “disruptive” action supplementing the relevant propagated verbal and written messages.
Eisgruber misses his bestie, his pookie, his right hand academic dean. Jill Dolan's handing in her letter to leave for the next year. Tears ensue.
“Today, it is a tremendous day for Princeton University, Princeton athletics, and most especially Princeton hockey,” Princeton Director of Athletics John Mack ’00 said in a press conference Saturday. “We said from the beginning, we were looking for the right leader for our program.”
