Institutions will have to pay 8 percent on endowment returns if they have “at least 3,000 tuition-paying students” and “a student adjusted endowment in excess of $2,000,000.” Princeton checks all the boxes. So, we have to pay. Right?

It is important to cultivate in students interest in local and state level change, because it is the most direct way to give back to the New Jersey community that sustains the University.
The income that students earn from employment is not “miscellaneous.” So Princeton must decide: Does it want its students — all of them, not only those who can afford it — to be able to work on the important research happening at Princeton, or be forced to go home?

We are writing to express our strong disapproval of the selection of Jay Shetty as the 2025 Class Day speaker. We deserve better than a self-help guru and repeated plagiarist who runs a “school” that an expert claims exhibits “similar patterns” to a multi-level marketing scheme.

Ending the Judicial Committee’s jurisdiction over initial complaints would embolden abuses of power, allowing the administration to evade accountability for University rule violations without the pressure of student and faculty authority.

To prevent pointless replacement and lockout charges, maximize convenience, and create better access to meals and facilities, Princeton should follow the precedent set by some of its peers and adopt a digital prox system.

So what, in the end, is a Princeton degree really for? I take a more moderate view: Students should prioritize earning potential — unless they feel irresistibly called to something else.

The University cares about collecting good data — but it needs to centralize its efforts.

Complete avoidance of AI is not a solution to the issue Johnson rightfully points out. Avoidance merely leaves us ignorant, standing still in a moving world. On the contrary, Princeton students should discuss the use of AI tools in education with honesty and open-mindedness and consider it a novel tool as opposed to a morally objectionable scourge.

Conservatives today must choose their cause: free speech or authoritarianism? Throughout history, the only leaders who cheered the downfall of universities and intellectualism were authoritarians interested in suppressing political dissent.

Expanding the humanities is imperative because they train students to recognize the value of knowledge regardless of where and whether it is applied — something sorely needed given the state of American culture.

Having a student-centered disciplinary process that understands root issues will allow for a more empathetic, fair adjudication of an inherently difficult process.

Our service workers are real people with the same fundamental needs as our student population. If we can afford to give our students hundreds of millions in aid, we can surely afford to pay our staff members — who are equally crucial to the Princeton community — a decent and fair wage.

In the face of rising housing insecurity and the court-mandated construction quota, the municipality must take advantage of the recent availability of Westminster campus with affordable housing in mind.
If the University is serious about fixing the mental health crisis on-campus, they must develop preventative and proactive solutions alongside reactive ones. That means taking student well-being and rest seriously. Academic breaks where students have time to recoup from weeks of stress must be as restful as possible.
