Letter to the Editor

Letter to the Editor: In response to PGSU

As you call on the University to do, we condemn violence and hatred of all kinds. The three of us and the offices we represent work daily to protect the rights and safety of immigrants, transgender people, and people of color (and those whose identities intersect all of these categories and others).

So you want to start a company?

Letter to the Editor: Legacies of incarceration

The Harvard University administration set off a firestorm when they rejected a formerly incarcerated woman who had already been accepted by the Department of History.

Letter to the Editor: Princeton should extend an invitation to Chelsea Manning

After Harvard University’s recent decision to rescind its fellowship offer to Chelsea Manning, following backlash from CIA Director Mike Pompeo, as well as others, it has become evident that once more the fight for academic freedom and university autonomy is more important than ever.

Letter to the Editor: Towards an inclusive free speech

Just before Princeton students returned to campus this year, an open letter signed by 16 Ivy League professors appeared online, calling on inbound college first-years to “think for yourself.” Though the call to think critically and maintain an open mind is benign on its surface, the letter is in reality a thinly veiled call to resistance against progressive campus activism.

Cierra tu Boca and Open Your Mind: An Open Invitation to Princeton’s Latinx Heritage Month

I hope the conservative students at Princeton join us for the many events planned for Latinx Heritage Month.

A commitment to dialogue: Rejecting false moral equivalence

We encourage all students, faculty, and other community members to think for themselves, seek the truth, and approach every issue, regardless of emotional charge, with an open mind, respectful attitude, and confidence that they can speak freely without false charges of bigotry based on inaccurate moral equivalences.

Letter to the Editor: Student advocacy is a game-changer

As a single student, you may feel frustrated that you cannot impact world affairs, or that even if you really tried to, the time commitment would take away from your future career.

Letter to the Editor: Inclusiveness through diversity

Inclusiveness through Diversity, No it’s not an oxymoron, at least not at residential dining at Princeton University.

A commitment to activism: Solidarity and coalition-building for the upcoming year and onward

The events in Charlottesville, Virginia, have made the presence of neo-Nazism and white nationalism in the United States undeniable.

As one of the many voices you will hear from prior to your arrival on campus, on behalf of Princeton Latinos y Amigos, we want to extend you all another welcome to what will be some of the most challenging, yet educative and exhilarating years that are to come.

What is Native American student life like at Princeton?

I’m going to be honest, at times your peers won’t recognize you as Native American. People will casually joke “I thought you were Asian the first time I saw you” or at best, “I wasn’t sure of your background.” In situations such as these I laugh along with them, proudly declaring my Diné ancestry.

Welcome home: An open invitation from the Princeton Black Student Union

To the Black Members of the Class of 2021: On behalf of Princeton’s Black Student Union, congratulations on your admission and your accomplishments that have brought you thus far!

A letter from AASA to the Class of 2021

To the Class of 2021, The Asian American Students Association (AASA) wishes you a warm welcome to the Princeton community!

Letter to the Editor: Transgender service ban

As the Pastor of Christ Congregation, an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ and American Baptist Church — and as a friend and family member to many who have served in the military — I emphatically denounce the White House’s most recent policy denying transgender people the privilege and right to serve in our nation’s military. Scripture says this: “So God created humankind in God’s image, in the image of God, God created them; male and female, God created them.” If, like me, you believe all humans were created in the image of God, then we can assume that God’s existence does not conform to binary definitions of gender.

Sailing the populist moment across the Atlantic

The Herman Melville novella “Benito Cereno,” in which a merchant ship is taken over by a slave mutiny, may seem to many like the perfect allegory for populism today. However, I do not believe that populism tricks democracy into such a scenario. We must learn to steer our ship without fearing the foreseeable intrusion of the populist guest, as we sail into perilous and unforeseen depths of the new order in need of a democratic horizon.
