First things first, I’m not afraid to admit I like Iggy Azalea’s music. I jam to her aggressive lyrics about pageantry (see “Murda Bizness” music video), female empowerment (note the “Kill Bill”allusions in her “Black Widow” video), and her rise against poverty (see “Work”). But when it comes to questions of how her identity affects the entire rap industry as a genre, I am less certain. As a white rapper from Australia, she is frequently accused of appropriating a genre that originates in African-American culture. Contrastingly, because she is a woman, many argue that her success in a traditionally male-dominated sphere challenges hip-hop’s masculine ideal.

When I first came to Princeton, I was convinced there must be a secret underground archery team. I had talked to numerous campus officials, administrators and even students who told me “It sounds familiar” or “I think I’ve heard of them”, and foolish pre-frosh me was too naïve to realize that admissions officers were simply telling me what I wanted to hear. By far, the biggest fallacy I was told repeatedly was “Even if we don’t have a team, you can always start one. It’s really easy to start clubs at Princeton!”

We are members of Princeton’s Class of 1978 who feel it necessary to speak up about sexual assault and rape in response to the undue repeated attention the media has given to the self-proclaimed “Princeton Mom.” We believe we speak for the great majority of Princeton moms and dads, as well as alumni who do not have children, in saying rape in general — and date rape in particular — is inexcusable, rape survivors deserve our help and support and anyone who sexually assaults another person should be prosecuted legally.

Since we, concerned graduate students at Princeton University, published our last opposite editorial on the state of diversity in the Graduate School, there has been another unfortunate change to the administration. Diana H. Mitchell ’10 abruptly left her post as an Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs and Diversity during the middle of the academic year, not six months after her predecessor, Karen Y. Jackson-Weaver ’94. Typically the Office of Academic Affairs and Diversity manages several retention efforts for Princeton students from underrepresented backgrounds. The recent changes to the Office bring uncertainty to the fate of these crucial programs.

The University prides itself on being a leader in sustainability and environmental responsibility. From conducting groundbreaking green energy research to cutting waste in dining halls, the University has taken laudable steps toward a sustainable future. Despite these efforts, the University has failed to address a looming elephant in the room: our $21 billion endowment and the companies and practices that it funds. While the University does not disclose details about the composition of its investments, analysis of comparable endowments suggests that the University has around 4 percent of its investments in fossil fuels, not including companies responsible for other drivers of irreparable environmental harm. That is, the University provides an estimated one billion dollars in support of practices that counteract Princeton’s advances toward local and global sustainability.

We are alumni of the Princeton University and Tiger Inn classes of 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998, which were among the first cohorts that included women. We are writing to express our dismay and disgust over the behavior of club leaders and members over the past year, including theincident in the spring that resulted in damage to the clubhouse, as well as themore recent and disturbing incidents in which club officers engaged in misogyny, sexual harassment or worse.

On August 9, 2014, an unarmed Black teenager named Michael Brown was shot at 12 times by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. Six of those shotshit their mark. Brown’s dead body remained on the ground forfour and a half hoursbefore it was collected. In the four months since his killing, protesters in the city of Ferguson, Mo., have taken to thestreets to demand an indictment. They have been repressed, brutalized and denied their basic human rights. Their voices have been censored; their bodiesattackedwith excessive violence and chemicals unsanctioned in acts of warfare. Protesters suffered the same violence after Ferguson’s grand jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson at 9 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 24, 2014.

We, the undersigned, are Jewish students on this campus whowere troubled, most recently, by Executive Director of the Center for Jewish Life Rabbi Julie Roth’s letter, emailed to all students affiliated with the CJL, that laid out the CJL’s institutional response to a faculty petition calling for the University to “divest from all companies that contribute to or profit from the Israeli occupation of the West Bank until the State of Israel complies with UN Resolution 242, ends its military occupation of the West Bank and lifts its siege of Gaza.” The letter states that the CJL is “taking the best, positive strategic approach to defeat this action,” including a direct link to a counter-petition open to all members of the University community—as though taking such action is a foregone conclusion for our community.

I write to solicit nominations for the Moses Taylor Pyne Honor Prize, the highest general distinction the University confers upon an undergraduate, which will be awarded during Alumni Day, on Feb. 21.

The purpose of this piece is to open apetitionsupporting this call to the wider University community and to clarify the facts surrounding divestment.
