Today’s Briefing:
PROFESSORS RESPOND TO LEAKED SCOTUS DRAFT OPINION: The Daily Princetonian spoke with professors in the history and politics departments and the School of Public and International Affairs, as well as alumni in Congress, about their opinions on the leaked draft majority opinion for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
CCFA REPORT UNDER EVALUATION BY NASSAU HALL: Princetonians for Free Speech (PFS) recently claimed on their website that the University’s Committee on Conference and Faculty Appeal (CCFA) had upheld an appeal regarding a complaint that the University had unfairly targeted Classics professor Joshua Katz. The complaint, initiated by eight University faculty members, references how Katz’s controversial statement was featured on the first-year orientation website To Be Known and Heard. According to Deputy Spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss, the advisory opinion is being carefully reviewed. No official decision has been released yet and the 'Prince' has not obtained the report.
OPEN LETTER FROM THE WOMEN OF THE CLASS OF ’72: Classmates of Samuel Alito ’72 wrote a letter to the Supreme Court Justice, following the leaked majority opinion regarding Roe v. Wade. The letter states, “We are about to celebrate our 50th reunion — half a century since we graduated from Princeton. We find it bitter indeed to see the draft Supreme Court opinion reverse the strides we thought we were making, as part of one of the first classes of Princeton women, towards a world of equity and fairness for women of all races and social and economic positions.”
