This Board vigorously opposes Princeton’s refusal to change expected family contributions, all the while reducing tuition.
Though this Board commends efforts to minimize the transmission of COVID-19 on campus over the summer, we are deeply concerned by the large and seemingly arbitrary cost that the University is imposing on these students.
This Board not only recommends a move away from requiring standardized testing for the 2020–21 admissions cycle, but urges a permanent shift beyond the coronavirus pandemic.
We applaud Princeton’s previous decisions to revise policy when confronted with the realities of the pandemic and encourage similar action before the disparate effects of the current grading policy become even more self-evident.
The Editorial Board calls on the University to impose a blanket P/D/F policy for all students.
The Editorial Board supports this petition and enjoins the University to act on its demands.
