Letter to the Editor

A view of a stone arch. The arch, surrounding trees, and sky are reflected in a puddle on the ground.

“This campus climate — where students’ political leanings largely determine whether they feel comfortable expressing themselves — is what is truly ‘toxic and polarizing.’”

Letter to the Editor: Art in my classroom is not a ‘tool’

“None of the art that these artists produced, or that of the dozens of others I featured in my course, were intended to “provoke a reaction” or be used as “tools,” as The Daily Princetonian Editorial Board would have it.”

Community Action Trip to PBC

Letter to the Editor: Princeton-Blairstown Center prioritizes community building in CA

“While service has always been integral to the CA orientation week, it has purposefully taken a back seat to community building. PBC’s ropes and challenge course activities, canoeing, problem-solving initiatives, and hikes are intentionally designed to build strong, lasting CA group relationships and bonds.”

Letter to the Editor: Identity politics can't mask the real problems inside the School of Architecture

“Even worse than ‘cancellation,’ these accusations of ‘patriarchy’ and ‘bigotry’ are a classic example of witch hunting, a procedure customarily used by authoritarian regimes to suppress dissent and legitimize repression, or worse.”

Letter to the Editor: Students should remember there are fates worse than the ‘rat race’ for admission to Princeton

“As hard and emotionally painful as it is to get into a college like Princeton, it can be harder and more painful mentally for America’s economically and educationally disadvantaged high school students to realize they will be left behind before that  “rat race” even begins.”

Ken Buck ’81: Princeton students deserve better than cancel culture

“It’s disconcerting that any student at Princeton, much less a politics concentrator, would hold such a narrow view of what is acceptable discourse. The entire purpose of a liberal arts education is to challenge students’ views, expand their intellectual horizons, and to have them engage deeply with conclusions and viewpoints at odds with their own.”

Letter to the Editor: The Office of Religious Life is committed to inclusivity

“Those who speak with us will find that the statement that the ORL is “not for Jews” — or any religious community — is absolutely contrary to the truth.”

Letter to the Editor: The ‘Prince’ should seek out Katz’s defenders, too

From my perspective, characterizing support for Professor Katz as coming from a “handful” of professors or “at least one alumnus” is likely a gross distortion.
