Reactions: What should a Princeton education prepare us to do?

(09/13/23 4:11am)

The Princeton community is full of idealists, activists, and outspoken thinkers. Yet it often seems like this idealism and enthusiasm for service is not carried forward as Princeton graduates move beyond the Orange Bubble. Recent studies of alumni outcomes have demonstrated an apparent lack of commitment to the values Princeton claims to promote. Only 20 percent of employed graduates of the Classes of 2016–2020 work in social impact fields. A recent analysis of prominent campus activists found that some have graduated into fields that work expressly against the values they fought to promote at Princeton. We asked our columnists, young and idealistic, still within the comforts of campus, how they hope to contribute to the world post-graduation, and what they think a Princeton education should prepare them to do.

When it comes to students’ lack of service, we have only ourselves to blame

(11/21/22 3:56am)

On Oct. 20, 1970, in the pages of The Daily Princetonian, a columnist called on their fellow students to use the “two-week recess” (what we now know as fall break) to campaign against “Nixon Republicans” and protest the Vietnam War. The columnist explained that “apathy is the attitude of the moment,” even among those students who do oppose the war.

Affirmative action is unequal. That’s the point.

(03/16/22 1:48am)

The Supreme Court recently announced that it will hear the Harvard and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill cases challenging affirmative action. In light of the court’s new conservative supermajority, that news is alarming. If the 2016 Supreme Court case Fisher v. University of Texas is overturned, there is a high likelihood that Black and Latino populations at universities across the nation will be severely diminished.

Reactions: Princeton opens gingerly as COVID-19 spreads

(01/27/22 1:50am)

Students are returning to a changed campus as the infectious omicron variant sends case levels to new heights. Princeton has responded to the changing circumstances by limiting social gatherings, changing dining to grab-and-go, and constraining student events. At the same time, the University has shortened the isolation period and ended its policy of contact tracing all confirmed positive cases, focusing in on only those groups at highest risk. Administrators have also stressed that they remain committed to offering in-person classes.

When in doubt — McCosh!

(10/08/21 2:03am)

“McCosh is a death sentence,” said a student in passing at a party. Shocking as it was to hear, from what I could ascertain after only a few weeks at Princeton, this sentiment appeared to be the general consensus among party-going first-years. Perhaps the dramatic nature of this quote can be attributed to pure hyperbole. Even so, apprehensive and negative rhetoric towards McCosh Health Center can impact student health in serious ways.
