Last semester, I took on the daunting task of writing my first junior paper (JP). This was an incredibly significant moment in my academic career, not only for its importance within the Princeton community, but also due to its grueling nature. Despite the demanding process — or maybe because of it — I found the depth of exploration I achieved to be rewarding, as I ultimately proved to myself that I was capable of such intense work. What was not rewarding, however, was the meager feedback I received, revealing the inadequacies of Princeton's systems for giving students feedback and how they fail to promote student learning.

Last Wednesday, the New York Times published an Opinion piece from Adam Hoffman, a senior at the University, who argued that Princeton’s administration and campus community create an environment inhospitable to nuanced discussions. In response to allegations of censorship, some have claimed that institutional “neutrality provides a starting point” to protect and develop free speech on college campuses like Princeton’s. Princeton has adopted the University of Chicago Free Speech Principles, meaning that Princeton’s policies now attempt to “[guarantee] all members of the University community the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn.” However, recently some of my fellow students have argued that Princeton should go further and adopt the Kalven Report, which focuses on maintaining the political neutrality of the University. While “institutional neutrality” is appealing and certainly has its merits, the University needs to speak out to support the inclusion of voices that have traditionally been marginalized.

A pair of doors opens and three elegantly dressed dancers step out onto the veranda of Whig and Clio Halls.

Tragedy struck East Palestine, Ohio last month when a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying 115,580 gallons of vinyl chloride derailed. Although the derailment resulted in no direct injuries, it has evolved into one of the largest ecological disasters on the rails in recent memory. In an attempt to prevent greater environmental damage and to quickly restore the railroad, Norfolk Southern intentionally burned the chemicals in the derailed cars in what officials called a “controlled release.” Unfortunately for East Palestine, a village of roughly 4,700 residents, vinyl chloride has been classified as a carcinogen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The UMatter bus, a bus that provides weekend late-night service for students to ride home from the eating clubs, has faced a significant decrease in ridership since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
