Outside organization hosts demonstration calling for removal of Mousavian: Your Daily ‘Prince’ Briefing
As a top institution of higher education, Princeton tries to do its best to prepare us for our future: offering career fairs, hosting resume writing sessions, and even offering Last Lectures about careers in local government. But there is one place where the University is falling short: preparing its students to form healthy relationships. There is a normalization of hookup culture at the University that is detrimental to many students’ long-term goals of healthy, sustainable relationships. The University must provide better resources in educating its student body about the potential social and emotional harms of hookup culture during freshman orientation and follow up in SHARE training material for upperclassmen and eating clubs. At the same time, it’s up to us to work towards forming healthy habits.
Hector Cueva-Becerra ’26 had never played an instrument before his sophomore year at Princeton.
On a sunny Saturday in Connecticut, No. 13 men’s lacrosse (9–4 overall, 4–2 Ivy League) toppled the No. 9 Yale Bulldogs (11–3 overall, 4–2 Ivy League) 15–8, sending themselves through to the Ivy League tournament.
In the Opinion piece written by President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 last week, Eisgruber articulated Princeton University’s restrictions on speech and emphasized Princeton’s right to “reasonably regulate the time, place, and manner of expression to ensure that it does not disrupt the ordinary activities of the University.” As a matter of law and administrative policy, President Eisgruber is correct. But restrictions on “disruption” to “ordinary activities” inherently suppresses the underlying intent of creating disruption of many protests that express progressive political views. This includes the University’s recent action taken against Princeton students’ sit-ins and protests on behalf of Gazans, victims of a military campaign — plausibly deemed genocidal — currently being waged by Israeli military forces. Not only do current regulations on “disruption” effectively prohibit impactful expression about progressive concerns, but — contrary to President Eisgruber’s assertions — these regulations are inherently not “viewpoint-neutral.” In fact, these rules stifle progressive speech, which is often accompanied by “disruptive” action supplementing the relevant propagated verbal and written messages.
Eisgruber misses his bestie, his pookie, his right hand academic dean. Jill Dolan's handing in her letter to leave for the next year. Tears ensue.
“Today, it is a tremendous day for Princeton University, Princeton athletics, and most especially Princeton hockey,” Princeton Director of Athletics John Mack ’00 said in a press conference Saturday. “We said from the beginning, we were looking for the right leader for our program.”
With both the weather and the Ivy League regular baseball season heating up, the Princeton baseball team (16–21 overall, 11–7 Ivy League) took on the Dartmouth Big Green (11–23, 6–12 Ivy) in New Hampshire. Entering the series with an average conference record, the Tigers were in desperate need of some consistency as they sought to strengthen their hold on an Ivy League Tournament berth.
On a trek to Cambridge, Mass, the No. 11 ranked Princeton women’s water polo team (23–6 overall, 10–0 Collegiate Water Polo Association) had one objective: two games, two wins.

Pro-Palestine protesters were escorted out of the Monday afternoon meeting of the Council of the Princeton University Committee (CPUC), while a sit-in was taking place ten minutes up-campus in Clio Hall. They chanted “Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest,” as they left the meeting.
Thirteen people were arrested after briefly occupying Clio Hall late Monday afternoon, marking a drastic escalation of pro-Palestine protests on campus since the beginning of a sit-in in McCosh Courtyard on Thursday morning. Clio is home to Princeton University Graduate School administration, and is directly south of Nassau Hall.

Over the last century, women have attained and even surpassed equal representation at U.S. colleges and universities to men — women now make up almost 60 percent of bachelor’s degrees awarded. Over the last few decades, women have also made huge strides post-college education: in the early 1980s, women made up only 30 percent of doctorate degrees — they now make up 54 percent. It‘s only natural that women are now also equally represented in the top levels of University administration — they are in charge of four out of the eight Ivy League schools. But recent events, such as Claudine Gay’s departure from her position as president of Harvard University, spark an important conversation on the ways in which meritocracy, race, and gender intersect in academic leadership. This present era calls for us to reevaluate our dedication to diversity and justice at the highest levels of government, especially in light of the different challenges that women face on the path to leadership at elite universities.
