Upon reading the April 9tharticle about the University’s response to the informal hosting program, I was dismayed by the quote that read, “They’re not sanctioning the plans necessarily, but they’re not trying to get us to cancel them either.”
I believe this line does not accurately define the University’s opinion on the informal hosting efforts. In fact, we are very much hoping that students will follow the University’s lead, and not participate in informal overnight hosting. Again, the University canceled the formal hosting program for well-considered reasons —to reduce risk among a population of students who have not been vaccinated and may not be well-informed about best practices to stay safe. We strongly discourage Princeton students, all of whom we are certain are well-meaning, from doing this informally on their own. While, finally, students will make their own choices, our hope is that they will not undermine the University’s message.

Deciding disciplinary matters by popular vote of the faculty sets a harmful precedent
Jonathan Mummolo"In short, fairness demands that all members of the Princeton community be subject to a common set of rules and procedures. We are all meant to be granted equal protection under these rules. Our established procedures for disciplinary matters do not call for a full faculty vote."

Princeton, practice what you preach: SPIA graduate students on protest and dialogue
Guest Contributors"As policy students, we are appalled by the blatant hypocrisy of the University administration, which has relied on fear-mongering and false narratives to discredit student protestors. We are increasingly disillusioned with the dissonance of what we are taught in our classrooms and the University’s actions."
