In 1971, William "Bill" Frist ’74 had just $10 in his pocket when confronted by three chair-wielding assailants outside Princeton Inn College on a Sunday at 12:30 a.m. According to The Daily Princetonian, Frist, a brown belt in karate, successfully defended himself and sent two of the attackers sprawling.

A course offered by Princeton’s Department of Near Eastern studies (NES) has come under sustained criticism from off-campus publications and public figures in recent weeks due to the inclusion of the book, “The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability” on the course’s syllabus.

The course, NES 301: The Healing Humanities — Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South, is scheduled to be taught by Professor Satyel Larson this fall.
