Todays Briefing: 

LATE MEAL ALLOWANCES INCREASED BY $1 FOR LUNCH AND DINNER: Beginning this Monday, Sept. 12, students will receive a one dollar increase on their late meal allowances, bumping the allotments from eight dollars to nine dollars. In an email to The Daily Princetonian, University Director of Retail & Catering Cristian Vasquez said that the change meant that “students can order an entrée from any station,” including a fountain beverage, and stay within the allowance. The meal allowance increase arrives after students expressed dissatisfaction with some of the price increases of food, which rendered some food options unaffordable.

CAMPUS COMMUNITY REACTS TO FINANCIAL AID EXPANSION: Scholars Institute Fellows Program’s (SIFP) Associate Director for Programs for Access and Inclusion Ashlee Shaw and several students offered their reactions to the recent announcement by the University that it plans to expand its financial aid program. The program will now provide full financial assistance to cover the entire cost of student expenses at Princeton for most students whose families make a combined income of $100,000 and eliminate the $3,500 student contribution that aid-receiving students are currently expected to cover through compensation from summer jobs and/or jobs worked during the academic year.

Jon Ort / The Daily Princetonian

In a Letter to the Editor, Dean of Religious Life and the Chapel Alison Boden responds to a recent guest contribution. Boden stresses the Office of Religious Life’s (ORL) commitment to inclusivity in its domestic and international trips, emphasizing that the ORL strives to accommodate students of all faiths.

“Those who speak with us will find that the statement that the ORL is ‘not for Jews’ — or any religious community — is absolutely contrary to the truth,” writes Boden.
