The Daily Princetonian Editorial Board weighs in on the USG candidates up and down the ballot, including endorsing Quentin Colón Roosevelt ’27 for president. In his platform and responses to our questions, Colón Roosevelt focused on relevant issues and pathways through which USG can exercise power — both in ways that address inefficiencies and leverage existing structures and in ways that expand the current role of undergraduate student representation.

While the idea of endorsing candidates has merit, the nature of the endorsement process is flawed, opaque, lacks external accountability, and projects the confidence of an institutional voice while having unclear standards.

A vote for Referendum No. 1 is a vote for sustainability, in every sense of the word. And cutting ties with PetroTiger is a win-win-win for climate action, students, and the University.

It is not acceptable for our representatives to simply give up, even — and especially — when obstacles to student interests feel formidable.

Your partner’s political choices say something about their values, and their values say something about your values as the person who chose them. Opting for non-confrontation to preserve a relationship that doesn’t align with your values is dismissing the increasingly salient political future ahead of us.

While many University members have a legitimate interest in a policy like this one, it is a dereliction of duty to allow administrators to propose an excessively vague and general policy, and then give them extremely wide latitude to interpret it.

The University should give students the chance to make informed academic choices. If Princeton values interdisciplinarity and genuine exploration, then its commitment shouldn’t end when the study of engineering begins.

Becoming more involved in campus activism has forced me to reckon with a simple fact: I’m not as busy as I thought I was. I had time to give. And because I find the job fulfilling, it doesn’t feel like a burden to devote that time to activism.

None of this is to say that there aren’t genuine uses for — and genuine concerns about — AI. But to discuss these well, we must first have the right conception of the technology.

Manchin’s message about the value of truly representative public service shows that, given Americans’ recent attitude toward elites and support for promises of representation, it is incumbent upon Princetonians who hope to enter public service, whether through organizing or running for elected office, to prove that they are worthy of a vote.
Academic perfectionism can dull our ability to recognize our own authoritarian tendencies because together they share a flawed reasoning that faultlessness reflects one’s value.

If Southeast Asia is, as CISS described, “an area of global importance and future opportunity,” why does Princeton lack a Program in Southeast Asian Studies?

If struggling precepts are a symptom of a cultural struggle with care, attention, and socialization, their reevaluation might be an opportunity for Princeton and its students to take a timely diagnostic of the University’s most monumental task: making smart people smarter by teaching them to care about and understand the world beyond their immediate orbit.

The University must eliminate these arbitrary time limits. Students should be able to redeem their scholarship benefit at any point during their four years, allowing them the flexibility to buy technology with the money they earned, when they actually need it.
