At 11:40 a.m. on April 20, 1995, a group of 17 students stormed Nassau Hall and began a sit-in to protest the lack of diversity in Princeton’s curriculum. The group decided to occupy the room adjoining the office of then-University President Harold Shapiro ’64 after realizing the main office was bolted from inside.
