Sitting in at Princeton: proud past, shameful present

Keith Wailoo

Is Hamas deserving of Princetonians’ solidarity?

Jacob Colchamiro

“Why are some of America’s brightest young minds endorsing as justifiable resistance the murder of innocent lives, and the taking of hundreds of hostages? Princeton protesters are mistaken to think that Israel is not right in defending itself. Israel’s war is a case-study in a just war.”

On the occupation of Clio Hall and the treatment of Graduate School staff

Cole M. Crittenden

“There are real power differentials on this campus, and we all have an obligation to be mindful of them. The students, postdocs, and faculty who occupied Clio Hall seem to have abused their privileges in the ways they treated staff as an expression of protest. That is wrong.”

Why student protests shouldn’t use ‘intifada’ as a rallying cry

Sydney Eck

“As we actively criticize Princeton, media focus on the happenings of elite college campuses amplifies our voices. As our words are carried further from McCosh courtyard, the risk that our words are truncated, distorted, and used for hate grows.”
