In November 2023, I wrote a letter to the editor on the importance of remembering the radical side of Princeton’s activist history and the politics of how we remember campus activism. As I wrote that letter, I could never have imagined the incredible things that current Princeton student activists would achieve just six months later with the Princeton Gaza Solidarity Encampment, also known as the Popular University for Gaza. If my previous letter lamented the lost radicalism of past campus activism we needed to recall, then recall it we have. On a supposedly apolitical, apathetic campus, students occupied space in solidarity with the Palestinian people for three weeks, organized a hunger strike that lasted over a week, held rallies of over 350 people, and, most importantly, put Palestinian liberation at the center of campus discourse in an unprecedented fashion. That is something worth remembering.

The front of Nassau Hall was vandalized with red paint and spray-paint graffiti reading, “Tragic Accident, Genocide Denial” at approximately 3:40 a.m. on Wednesday, May 29, according to a Public Safety Clery report from Wednesday. Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest (PIAD) did not claim responsibility, but said that an “autonomous group” was responsible for the action — the same response the group gave following the vandalization of Robertson Hall on May 25.
On May 28, Princeton’s 277th Commencement ceremony concluded several days of celebrations on campus. Pro-Palestine protests, which have ramped up following the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” and continued into Reunions, were also present at Commencement, including around 70 students turning their backs to University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 during a portion of his speech.
Two seniors will have their degrees held in relation to the pro-Palestine walkout at Eisgruber’s annual Reunions address in Richardson Auditorium last Saturday, May 25. They will still be able to attend Commencement on Tuesday, May 28. At least one other student — an underclassman — is also under investigation in relation to the disruption of the address.

In 2019, Nancy Lin ’77 participated in Stories of Asian and Asian Americans at Princeton, a digital walking tour of campus organized by the Asian American Alumni Association of Princeton (A4P), and the University’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Lin, the co-chair of A4P, noticed that one particular alumnus, Syngman Rhee Class of 1910 — the first president of South Korea from 1948 to 1960 — was not included in the tour due to his authoritarian leadership.
Protests erupted at remarks by University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 at his annual address to alumni in Richardson Auditorium, called “A Conversation with President Eisgruber.” Approximately 25 protesters raised their hands, which were painted in red.

Early Saturday morning, the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) fountain was vandalized, with red dye unloaded in the fountain water and spray paint that reads "Pretty Town Bloody Gown" on Robertson Hall. The Daily Princetonian was first made aware of the incident around 5:20 a.m.
On May 17, the University filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education (DoE), alleging that the federal agency had failed to disclose relevant information after the University made a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for records related to the DoE investigation into Princeton in 2020. Originally enacted in 1967, FOIA compels federal agencies to disclose information upon request — with narrow exemptions.

After winning the Ivy League tournament on May 11, Princeton softball (30–18 overall, 14–7 Ivy League) received an automatic bid to the NCAA regional tournament in Lafayette, La. In the double elimination tournament, the Tigers lost to No. 13 seeded Louisiana (45–19, 22–2 Sun Belt Conference) in five innings but beat Ole Miss (31–27, 7–17 SEC) in the loser game.
Returning to the Ivy League Tournament for the second time in as many years, the Princeton baseball team (18–26, 12–9 Ivy) sought to avenge last year’s finals loss to the University of Pennsylvania Quakers (24–23, 11–10) and secure a berth to the regional NCAA baseball tournament. Hosted by Columbia University, the Tigers crossed the Hudson River to fight for a title and a ticket with their season on the line. The second-seeded Tigers, who finished the year four games behind the conference-leading Columbia Lions (26–18, 17–4 Ivy), were challenged by a rotation depleted by injuries amid a busy schedule that would see them play in three or more games in just three days. The Tigers fought hard and won a crucial game against Columbia, but fell in the double-elimination tournament to the eventual champions, Penn.
