Student-led sociopolitical dissent is an enduring asset of the American university. Since the horrific events of Oct. 7, 2023, on-campus demonstrations have recognizably spiked. The ensuing months of complicated and heartbreaking conflict in the Middle East have prompted many contemplative and necessary exchanges regarding power, national autonomy, and the ceaseless tragedy of the loss of innocent life. This intensification of student speech, in tandem with the recent controversy surrounding congressional testimony by Ivy League university presidents and their alleged hesitation to condemn rising antisemitism, has renewed attention towards the role of universities as both conduits and participants in the national political discourse. Some even argue that Princeton University is responsible for answering inquiries on its positions regarding national and global events to continuously support marginalized voices. While this goal is undeniably noble, a reexamination of the Kalven Report and recent restrictive legislation levied towards Florida universities serves as a necessary reminder that we at Princeton shouldn’t overlook the power of institutional neutrality to preserve campus discussions of diversity and equity.

There is no doubt that the United States values religious liberty: Freedom from government-established religion is, after all, a key right in our Constitution’s First Amendment. American universities like Princeton, which often present themselves as bastions of free thought and intellectual exploration, play a pivotal role in safeguarding this fundamental right. The relationship between religious beliefs and higher education is a multifaceted issue, encompassing the protection of students’ and faculty members’ religious expression, the accommodation of diverse faiths, and the separation of church and state within the academic realm.

Elite schools are commonly criticized for disproportionately funneling their graduates into the privileged professions of finance and consulting, fields which have been exposed again and again for unethical practices and corporate greed. Princeton is no exception, with nearly 20 percent of graduates in 2023 entering these sectors, a phenomenon which some Princetonians feel contradicts Princeton’s unofficial motto of being “in the nation’s service and the service of humanity.”

“It is the duty of Harvard to receive just as many boys who have come, or whose parents have come, without our background as it can … Experience seems to place that proportion at 15 [percent],” wrote former president of Harvard University A. Lawrence Lowell in 1922. He was defending Harvard’s Jewish quota, asserting that Jewish students were simply too divergent from Harvard’s mainstream to wholly assimilate, and thus — in his words — Harvard wouldn’t be able to “effectively educate [them] in the ideas and traditions of our people” above a certain quota. Fulfilling this quota was accomplished, among other methods, through instituting legacy admissions, which have only continued to support other discriminatory admissions policies since then.

This past Friday, all international students on campus were sent an email with the subject: “Important: Winter Break Travel and Continuous Housing.” The email sent by the Davis International Center (IC) reads like a threat: If you don’t stay on campus over winter Break and the United States closes its borders, you will not be allowed to return to campus until Spring 2023.

As concerned Black alumni, we stand with the Princeton faculty, as well as the undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni of the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), who have called for the University to transform itself into an anti-racist institution. Their demands are the culmination of a continuum of student protest over fifty years — including the recent efforts of the Black Justice League — to compel the University to eliminate racial inequities.

So we have a new president . . . or we have the same president. I don't really know; I didn't want to wait around to find out before I turned this in. No one cares about this column, I guess, but I write sports, not politics, and the NBA started last night.

Defeating last year's No. 2 crew in the nation is a hard act to follow. But women's open weight crew made it look easy.

As the mercury rises and Lake Carnegie returns to liquid form, both women's crew teams are setting out to prove themselves as top Ivy League and even national competitors.
