TigerHub, Princeton’s official portal where students view their grades and schedules and pay their tuition, has come under a fair amount of criticism: “It’s clear from the look and feel of [TigerHub] that insufficient time and money have been allocated to make [it] easy to use and aesthetically on par with modern web standards,” wrote then-Contributing Columnist Christopher Lidard ’25 last fall.

Five candidates emerged victorious from a crowded field of 23 candidates in the Class of 2027 Class Council election, nearly double the size of last year's field. The USG Fall Elections penalty report reveals that over the course of the campaign, nine candidates broke official USG election rules, with two candidates sanctioned. The most common violation was a failure to submit their expenditure report on time. While submitting late did not incur a campaign restriction for most candidates, penalties increased sharply, with a candidate submitting two hours late losing their ability to send electronic messages and a candidate being disqualified after submitting 12 hours late. Only four candidates reported any expenditures at all during the campaign, meaning at least some of the candidates submitting late were submitting no expenses.

This Saturday, thousands of Princeton alumni and parents flocked to see the Princeton football team reach a surprising victory over longtime nemesis Harvard. To the Undergraduate Student Government (USG), this victory came with a significant achievement for their programming. At the start of their October 22 meeting, USG President Stephen Daniels ’24 spoke about the success of the USG-sponsored Homecoming football game event which included a J.Crew pop-up shop and free food. He estimated that attendance was around 300–400 students. Daniels also stated he was “preparing for the Yale game,” mentioning the potential bonfire that would occur if Princeton also wins the game against Yale on Nov. 11. USG currently has $10,000 budgeted under their bonfire reserve.

Until this month, upwards of 120,000 Armenians lived in the contested region and their departure in the face of fears of ethnic cleansing has been referred to as a cultural genocide.

After Elizabeth Tsurkov, a graduate student in the Politics department, was kidnapped in March while conducting dissertation research in Baghdad, the University's processes for travel approval have been under the spotlight. In interviews with the Daily Princetonian, two graduate students discussed a culture where graduate students are primarily responsible for considering safety regarding travel plans related to research. The University responded by noting numerous resources graduate students can use to assess the safety of their travel, along with processes as a part of official travel approval.

While mind-reading may seem like a distant reality, the foundations of mind reading are grounded in scientific research. The lab of Kenneth Norman, Huo Professor in Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience and Chair of the Department of Psychology, has developed and employed novel applications to detect and measure brain activity. These applications, in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), are then used to interpret thoughts. Norman emphasized the potential of his work for advances in brain-computer interfaces, diagnosing mental illness and neurological conditions, and education.

Princeton’s Operations Research and Financial Engineering (ORFE) department has described itself as a one-of-a-kind program that combines data-driven science with principles that can be applied to a wide range of fields, including finance, communications, and transportation. It is a department that prides itself on the study of “optimal decision-making under uncertainty.” Yet a failure in a different optimization problem — the optimal number of students to accept in 2020 — created a series of bottlenecks in the department.
