OPINION | Princeton, follow your own dissociation rules

Hi, I’m Alex Norbrook, an opinion columnist for the ‘Prince.’ Recently, the University has updated their list of companies that they are dissociating from, as well as companies that they are maintaining financial relations with — one such company is TotalEnergies, a corporation that allegedly engages in perpetuating climate disinformation. As a matter of fact, a University commission once proposed that the University should dissociate from companies that engage in disinformation. But, that plan was never brought to fruition. If the Board of Trustees will not pursue fossil-free policies, then Princeton must consider dissociation from companies that engage in climate disinformation like TotalEnergies.

The women will be headed to Iowa City, Iowa where they will take on West Virginia University in the first round of the NCAA tournament and the men’s team will stay in New Jersey, where they will take on University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament. If the Women advance, they will almost certainly face the No. 1-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes, which features the all-time NCAA basketball leading scorer, Caitlin Clark.
