Sunrise Princeton hosts Earth Day climate walkout: Climate protestors from the Sunrise Princeton organization held an Earth Day protest yesterday at noon on Frist North Lawn. The protest was co-organized by a coalition of other groups on campus, including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the Princeton Conservation Society. Rowan Johnson ’27, an attendee, explained that Sunrise Princeton’s “biggest demand is to divest the $700 million that the University has invested into projects that are fueling the climate crisis.” The protest also called for better treatment of University workers as well as justice for Palestinians and incarcerated people. As the protest moved from Frist North Lawn to Nassau Hall, Eleanor Clemans-Cope ’26, one of the Co-Coordinators of Sunrise, began using a bullhorn. This prompted Associate Dean of Undergraduate Students Jarrett Fisher to distribute leaflets warning the protesters to “cease the disruption immediately”, causing Clemans-Cope to stop using the bullhorn. Sunrise Co-Coordinator Alex Norbrook ’26 expressed that the organization was proud of its role in organizing the coalition, citing the range of groups involved. “We’re really trying to ... bring in and connect climate with a lot of these other organizing struggles that already exist on campus.”

PSRJ celebrates condom dispenser launch: Last Friday, Princeton Students for Reproductive Justice (PSRJ) celebrated the launch of condom dispensers around campus with a party in Campus Club. The event ended the organization’s second annual “Sex Ed week,” which included a variety of fun activities aimed at educating students on safer sex and PSRJ’s initiatives. The celebration on Friday included “vagina cupcakes,” the launch of a “Consent is Sex-Tea” specialty drink, live music, and contraceptive distribution. PSRJ’s condom dispenser initiative began two years ago, with one dispenser being installed in each upperclassmen dorm last May. 58 dispensers have now been installed in upperclass housing, graduate student housing, and eating clubs. Funding for the project was provided by a Tigerwell grant, a University program that seeks to “promote well-being at Princeton.” Condom Celebration participants expressed their enthusiasm for the event. Kristin Nagy ’27 told the ‘Prince,’ “I was really excited because I saw that they were going to have vagina cupcakes.

University phones experiencing service disruptions, internal and emergency calls unaffected: A TigerAlert was sent yesterday morning by the Office of Information Technology (OIT) to notify the Princeton community of service disruptions for University phones, including desk phones and the Cisco Webex phone service software. OIT first reported the problem at 9:57 a.m. as an “unplanned outage” due to “telephone audio quality issues.” Internal calls and calls to emergency services are unaffected, but external calls to and from University phones and departments could experience intermittent audio and call quality issues. OIT has not provided a resolution time yet, but the issue has been identified and OIT is working to fix the problem.
