In 2021, Atlantic reporter Emma Green pressed President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 on whether Princeton should exist, noting that compared to The City University of New York, for example, Princeton spends an extraordinary amount of money on its relatively few students.

In 2022, Princeton formed a research partnership with five historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to facilitate inclusion in a variety of academic disciplines. Princeton has also recently started a program to help local community college students transition to four-year colleges, which Eisgruber recently touted while at the White House.
