Todays Briefing: 

TOWN COUNCIL EXPRESSES CONCERNS ABOUT GRADUATE HOTEL CONSTRUCTION: During its weekly meeting on Tuesday, April 26, the Princeton Town Council evaluated plans for the Graduate Hotel construction, heard from organizers of a May Day march, and recognized the Climate Action Plan Emissions Reduction Strategies (CAPERS) team from Sustainable Princeton. 

After an announcement that construction for the Graduate Hotel will temporarily force Chambers Street to be one-way, the Council expressed some concerns about the forthcoming project.

“We are thrilled about this project in theory,” Councilmember Eve Niedergang said to the representatives. “But I’m deeply distressed that we were given assurances that, upon closer examination, you couldn’t live up to, and there is some trust lost there.”

Letter from the Editor: Help us understand how best to serve you

The Daily Princetonian’s ‘queerness’ issue waits to be picked up from the stand.
Marie-Rose Sheinerman / The Daily Princetonian

Editor-in-Chief Marie-Rose Sheinerman makes an overture to readers of the publication, asking them to complete the readership survey and help to inform how the ‘Prince’ adapts its coverage in a perpetually changing media and cultural landscape.

“With each passing year, new issues land on our pages, while others are reborn from previous generations. Unlike our predecessors, however, today’s student journalists must think in equal parts about how to capture these stories and deliver them to our readers. Everywhere that we have a platform — the website, various social media, physical paper, podcasts, and the newsletter — we must think deeply about the ways we present our content,” writes Sheinerman.

OPINION | Imagine a Princeton without eating clubs

Eating clubs line Prospect Avenue.
Mark Dodici / The Daily Princetonian

In the second installment of her two-part column criticizing the institution of eating clubs, senior columnist Brittani Telfair recommends alternatives to supplant the status quo of eating clubs serving as the main social scene on campus. She charts her own fraught experiences grappling with microaggressions and performative attitudes toward diversity during her time at Cap & Gown to support her argument that eating clubs perpetuate systems of oppression and exclusion.

“Princeton is an institution that insists it has largely transcended its racist history through hollow political gestures and lip service. The eating clubs come from that same history: they reflect racialized class stratifications, racialized admissions processes, and the fact that our economic system creates and thrives off of racial inequality,” Telfair writes.
