We appreciate that members of our community have a wide range of opinions regarding those policies, and encourage everyone to attend this event and respectfully engage with their peers about Israel.

This week, we have been disappointed by the leadership of Virginia. The failures of Governor Northam, Lieutenant Governor Fairfax, and Attorney General Herring serve as a reminder that we need more women, people of color, and especially women of color in office.

Condemning white nationalism is too easy

Guest Contributor

Checking the temperature of race relations both on and off campus only when a group of white nationalists is encroaching is not enough. Condemning white nationalism then becomes too easy.

Guest Contributor

In his Jan. 6 opinion piece in The Daily Princetonian, Jon Ort ’21 underscores the importance of academic freedom that is the lifeblood of the University, but incorrectly suggests that Google’s recently announced plans to open an artificial intelligence research lab in Princeton undercuts that freedom.

If they wish to remove the stereotypical image of little more than controversial Hellenistic funhouses, Greek organizations will have to do better in defining their missions and objectives to the public eye and the schools around which they operate.

We need to elect a Congress that believes in science

Guest Contributor

What we are living and witnessing in our present politics is highly anomalous, but more importantly, it cannot be dismissed or ignored. We must not allow ourselves to normalize the noxious. The unprecedented denial of science by many members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate is unacceptable.

Rebuttal to Lipkowitz

Rebuttal to Lipkowitz

Guest Contributor

This piece is a response to an editorial in The Daily Princetonian by Gabe Lipkowitz ’19 entitled “There is no art of science.” I consider Lipkowitz a close friend and recognize that he wishes to promote discussion by deliberately taking a bold stance. But his latest article, in my opinion, takes a stance much closer to ridiculous.
