University under federal investigation for antisemitism: The U.S. Department of Education has initiated an investigation into the University for alleged antisemitism, sparked by a complaint from Zachary Marschall of the publication Campus Reform, relating to chants from a pro-Palestine walkout. This places Princeton among several leading American universities under scrutiny for antisemitism by the Office of Civil Rights under Title VI, which mandates non-discrimination practices in federally funded institutions. Despite the allegations, University officials and Jewish community members express confidence in Princeton’s compliance with Title VI and maintain that, while instances of antisemitism and anti-Zionism exist, they do not dominate the campus atmosphere, highlighting ongoing efforts to ensure a safe environment for Jewish students.

OPINION | Reimagining writing seminar for all writers

Hi, I’m Anna Ferris ’26, and in this piece, I point out gaps in the current writing seminar curriculum, including narrow or missing focuses on form, sourcing, and style across academic disciplines. I argue that exposure to different analytical forms, a more accessible and legible way of constructing sentences, and varying types of sources — like creative and scientific ones — would make the program more beneficial for students pursuing all fields of study.
