As tens of thousands of high school seniors vie for a spot in Princeton’s Class of 2028, many will be accepted through their Nov. 1 early applications. For the Class of 2024 — the class with the most recent publicly available early admissions data — nearly half of the students were accepted through early admission. Early action (EA) acceptance rates are considerably higher than those for regular decision (RD) at every Ivy League institution: early commitment clearly increases a student’s chances of getting into top schools. But the nature of restrictive (or single-choice) early action (REA) processes, like Princeton’s, offer that benefit to only a privileged collective. In order not to disadvantage and dissuade applicants who need more security in the college process, Princeton should adopt non-restrictive early action or, at least, return to its pre-2008 early decision (ED) program.

Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have often been described as the Ivy League’s “Big Three,” a term coined in the mid-1880s to refer to the three of the country’s best football teams. Today, the “Big Three” label has evolved to signify academic prestige, rather than athletic prowess. Currently, they place third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, in total Ivy League football championships.

Forbes may be full of doubles and occasional triples, but believe it or not, there are many students in Forbes who live in singles — myself included. And I absolutely love it! I can wake up at 6 a.m. for my 10 a.m. classes without disturbing night owls. I can invite my friends over and not have to inform someone in advance. But most importantly, I can better accommodate my sensory needs. Whether you are neurodivergent or in the market for calming dorm accessories, here are five ways I make my single room sensory-friendly.

Israel “better rid itself of the territories and their Arab populations as soon as possible.” If it does not, Israel will “soon become an Apartheid State.” These are the words that journalist Hirsh Goodman recalled in 2009 from a radio speech from the founding father and first prime minister of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, after the Six-Day War in 1967. Thirty-five years later, Israel’s former attorney general Michael Ben-Yair described Israel as an “apartheid regime,” a sentiment echoed by the former education minister in 2007, the former environment minister in 2008, the UN, Amnesty International, and a myriad of independent human rights organizations. Yet, many Princeton administrators and students continue to “stand with Israel.”

The recent “Who Runs Princeton” special issue from The Daily Princetonian highlighted many key figures on campus, but one in particular stood out: the nearly 1,200 non-faculty staff members the University has hired over the past decade. Many of Princeton’s peer institutions have seen a similar uptick in the number of administrators and have faced backlash from students. The calls to — as one Harvard student put it — “fire them all,” stem from a belief that more administrators drive up tuition prices and increase the various and complex levels of bureaucracy that students must navigate when seeking to impact change on campus, or simply get answers to their questions.

Gargoyles and grotesques are embraced through Princeton’s gothic architecture – some you may already know and love, but many that “you may have passed a hundred times but never noticed,” one tour's guide suggests. Walking around campus, you may see a monkey with a camera on the archway of 1879 Hall, a chained dragon found at the University Chapel, various “educational gargoyles” surrounding Guyot Hall, an armless monkey clown located at Patton Hall, and hundreds of other gargoyles which call Princeton home. Spend some time exploring when you’re next outside. There is always something else to discover on campus – see what gargoyles pique your interest.

After sending a truck accusing SPIA Dean of coddling antisemitism, off-campus group issues private apology
(10/24/23 5:34am)
On Oct. 18, a truck with the message “DEAN JAMAL: WHY DO YOU CODDLE ANTISEMITISM” appeared on Nassau Street with photos of the recent terrorist attack in southern Israel. The truck circulated in town for three days during fall break, targeting Amaney Jamal, Dean of the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA). The group in question has since apologized to Jamal, noting a previous statement she issued condemning Hamas.
