On Feb. 4, The Daily Princetonian published an investigative report detailing claims of inappropriate conduct by professor Joshua Katz. Katz is alleged to have crossed professional boundaries on multiple occasions with three undergraduate women, referred to in the report as Jane, Clara, and Bella. The University declined to comment on the claims, citing a policy of “not comment[ing] on personnel matters,” which we find unacceptable. In the wake of this investigation, we must all address the campus culture that allows for boundary violations like those which allegedly occurred.

“Heads up bro, we got problems,” said Leon in the 2001 “Fast and Furious” movie. And yes, we got problems — we are downright getting dumber. To no surprise, our attention spans are decreasing, too. A goldfish has an attention span of nine seconds. The average human attention span? Eight, down from 12 in 2000. By reading this far into the article, you are doing better than both a goldfish and an average human. And the antagonist that single-handedly caused this? The surge in technology and social media that brought about the whirlwind of fast and furious everything. As a consequence, the generational trend is that people are becoming more restless and outcome-oriented.

Last week, The Daily Princetonian reported on allegations that classics professor Joshua Katz cultivated inappropriate relationships with some of his female students in the past. While these claims have not been definitively confirmed, there is already more than enough information and context to conclude that, regardless of the bigger picture and consequences for Katz himself, the man certainly manifests an insufferable sense of entitlement and arrogance, I believe.

In a few months, A.B. sophomores and B.S.E. first-years will find themselves making an important choice: their concentration at Princeton. The prospect of limiting oneself to a specific department can be daunting. Even those like myself who have already chosen their respective concentrations may sometimes lack a sense of belonging. During the pandemic, I’ve found myself reflecting considerably on my path forward and those who have been assisting me along the way. Therefore, I write hoping that this may be helpful to those choosing and those who have already chosen.

On the wintry morning of his inauguration, President Joe Biden sought to comfort a weary nation. “As the Bible says,” he told us, “weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

The Office of International Programs’ October announcement that study and research abroad programs will remain suspended during the spring semester surprised few. In the midst of a global pandemic, restrictions on students’ international travel are a small price to pay in the fight against COVID-19. However, as vaccination efforts lag behind and it remains unclear when international travel will normalize, the pandemic’s troubling impacts on research and study abroad must be discussed. The loss of research and study abroad as a tool for generating cross-cultural understanding is especially worrisome in our distanced world.

A former friend once told me that she would never date a Black man because she finds dark skin unattractive. She is white. While I was not surprised by her statement, I nonetheless felt uncomfortable and frustrated. This was not the first time I encountered blatantly racist ideas about attractiveness, nor are such beliefs novel to many Black people and people of color, more broadly.

The American political landscape has shifted dramatically since the new year. Democrats now have control of the presidency and both chambers of Congress, thanks in large part to President Biden’s victory in Georgia and the runoff victories of Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock in January. In the intervening weeks since Warnock’s and Ossoff’s wins, many observers have tried to trace how Georgia flipped blue. Numerous factors led Reverend Raphael Warnock to victory over Kelly Loeffler in the Georgia Senate race. But way back in the summer, long before the race became the focal point of national politics, a concerted push for Warnock’s candidacy came from an unexpected place: the players of the Atlanta Dream, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) team that Loeffler co-owns.

Jan. 21, 2021 marked the one year anniversary of COVID-19 cases being officially reported in the United States. The world as we knew it came to a halt months ago, but conspiracy theories continue their spread through the nation. Instead of believing scientists and doctors, many Americans get their information from Facebook walls and unreliable sources, valuing rumors over facts and privileging fiction over science.

In the summer of 2020, a number of schools made the move to strike their SAT or ACT requirement for the incoming class of 2025. And today, Harvard joined Cornell, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania as the fourth Ivy League school to waive testing requirements for the Class of 2026. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic saw hundreds of schools go “test-optional” in a bid to lighten the load on prospective college students as they grappled with the new challenges of virtual learning, including the closing of schools and growing infeasibility of test-taking in a group format due to health concerns. It was a necessary gesture of understanding and leniency during unforeseen and incredibly challenging circumstances.

Kamala Harris’ victory is a step forward on the path to restoring the dignity of our nation. It is also a triumph for the female, Black, and Indian populations. However, as Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor began Harris’ oath of office, I was quickly reminded that we still have a ways to go before Harris’ cultural identifiers are given the respect they deserve.
