Today’s Briefing:
ENGINEERING SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION IN FOCUS: President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 told the ‘Prince’ in an exclusive interview on Friday that, if he had to pick just one, his top priority for the next five years is ‘rebuilding and fortifying’ the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. “I think we’ve got a terrific group of faculty working in a 1962 building that looks depressingly like my high school,” Eisgruber said while sitting down with the ‘Prince’ in Nassau Hall. “That's not the set of facilities we need for the 21st century, and you cannot be a great liberal arts university in the 21st century without having a great school of engineering."

Assistant Opinion Editor Gisele Bisch argues that despite the University’s stated goal to “build relationships with Native American and Indigenous communities,” Princeton has not taken enough actions to achieve it. Bisch acknowledges that many plans will take time, but writes, “As it stands, the University is doing nowhere near enough to educate its community about the Indigenous land it stands on or the Lenni-Lenape people native to it. Equally so, Princeton is not providing sufficient Indigenous educational resources to its full capacity.”
