Regarding "CPUC looks at student well being" (Feb. 10)
Your article suggested that the Task Force on Health and Well Being is a bit further along than it actually is. The task force is considering, but it has not yet recommended, "the creation of a new space combining better fitness facilities with a new health care center." And while one member of the task force is cited in our interim report as proposing a multipurpose facility that does "for fitness and wellness what Frist has done for campus life," this is not yet a proposal from the full task force.
A fully integrated facility, that also might include recreational opportunities, educational and health promotion programs, nutritional counseling, and work/life resources, certainly is one possibility. But we are exploring other options as well. In the focus groups we have begun to conduct we have found strong interest in a comprehensive facility of this kind, but we have also found interest in more decentralized approaches. To no one's surprise, different members of our community have different priorities and different ideas about how best to address them.
Our goal over the next few weeks is to learn as much as we can about best practices elsewhere and to hear from as many members of our campus community as possible — through comments submitted to our website at www.princeton.edu/hwbtf or in the focus groups we are conducting with the University. Later this spring we will be conducting a survey and then preparing a second report that we hope to be ready to issue by the end of the spring semester.

The CPUC must not gut its Judicial Committee

What is a Princeton degree really for?
Joel IbabaoSo what, in the end, is a Princeton degree really for? I take a more moderate view: Students should prioritize earning potential — unless they feel irresistibly called to something else.
