Like many of my peers, I was a dedicated student organizer in high school, but I’ve been utterly inactive at Princeton. Instead of attending Sunrise Princeton or SPEAR (Students for Princeton Education, Abolition, and Reform) events, I’ve justified my disengagement by telling myself that I don’t have enough time to make a substantive commitment to those groups.

Former Harvard president Claudine Gay, who stepped down on Jan. 2 amid criticisms of her response to antisemitism on Harvard's campus and her subsequent plagiarism allegations, is all over U.S. media. Gay’s resignation remained the top story on the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal websites in the following days. This media firestorm demonstrates how in the midst of the conflict in Israel and Palestine, mainstream U.S. news organizations are blatantly more interested in amplifying Ivy League scandals than reporting on the realities of violence in Gaza, where the death toll recently surpassed 22,000 — mostly consisting of women and children. This disproportionate focus on Ivy League turmoil is a sensationalist distraction. We shouldn’t let it divert our attention from the much more substantive problem of the brutal war in Gaza, and the surge in antisemitism and Islamophobia the war has provoked in the United States.

“What are you going to do with your degree?” This skeptical question is all too familiar to most humanities majors. As the perception of the humanities as useless disciplines proliferates, their numbers rapidly decline: The number of history majors has decreased by 45 percent since 2007, and English has plummeted by half since the mid-1990s. But data indicates majoring in the humanities doesn’t limit students’ future options. Moreover, we should reject the notion that choosing a major is primarily a profit-maximizing decision. Liberal arts education, and liberal arts degrees, are inherently valuable because success is more than affluence.

There is no denying that the Princeton undergraduate experience is luxurious. Free Tacoria seems ubiquitous at campus events. Residential colleges offer free massages during midterm week and free Broadway trips throughout the year. Some seminar classes include trips abroad that are fully funded, regardless of students’ financial aid status. These perks reduce the stressful, overwhelming nature of life at Princeton. But, these luxuries create a sense of entitlement, and alienate us from the vast majority of the world’s population. That entitlement discourages us from pursuing careers in public service.

My roommate and I missed the first three days of the second week of classes due to COVID-19 isolation. Left hungry by the inadequate portions of isolation meals, we relied on the generosity of friends who brought us, among other things, a jumbo-sized jar of peanut butter, miso soup, and gummy bears. We were sick and exhausted, and our capacity to keep up with Princeton’s academic rigor was severely diminished. We worried that spending five days out of the social loop and missing our first Lawnparties would cause our burgeoning friendships to stagnate. The immense cumulative setback of missing a few classes means we’re still catching up on work.

On May 30, Larry Giberson ’23 graduated from Princeton with a degree in Politics. His graduation deserves attention because he participated in the January 6th riots at the Capitol. He has identified himself in photos at the riot and recently pleaded guilty to a felony charge of interfering with police during a civil disorder. So why did Princeton grant him a degree?
