After student activists began directing hard questions at President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 during meetings of the Council of the Princeton University (CPUC) in 2019, administrators pushed through a policy that curtailed freedom of attendees to ask questions.

Jeffrey Wright, star of the 2024 Academy Award-winning film, “American Fiction,” doesn’t think we Princeton students will take his advice. After all, as he said, we’re young. The celebrated actor is the father of two college-aged kids — he knows how stubborn young adults can be. However, it would be a mistake to not consider his words deeply. This is a man who has an impressive filmography: one that ranges from “Angels in America” to “The Hunger Games,” “James Bond” to “Westworld.” He has worked with the likes of legends such as Mike Nichols, Wes Anderson, M.
