A case for banning hate speech on campus

The Editorial Board “reaffirmed” its support for nearly unlimited freedom of expression last week following the appearance of anti-Semitic flyers streaming from printers across campus, the contents of which the Board unequivocally denounced.

Subsidized access to recruiting for nonprofits

As Marni Morse argued in her most recent column, a substantial barrier to many Princeton students pursuing internships or jobs in the nonprofit sector isn’t a lack of will, but rather a lack of access.

Letter to the Editor: Hillary Clinton's Missing Glamor

Editor’s Note: This article does not representthe views of the ‘Prince’. There is no denying it – Hillary Clinton is not the candidate of the liberal youth of America.Her monochromatic pantsuits, past affair with the White House and establishment credentials just don’t agree with the exhausted liberal idealists who wait for change.

Fitting evidence to conclusion

I wasn’t expecting to agree with much of the talk on pornography and sex trafficking given this past Thursday by University of Pennsylvania psychology professor Dr. Mary Anne Layden at an event sponsored by the Anscombe Society.

The Admissions Trick

Trump is not the only extremist

The University group Muslim Advocates for Social Justice & Individual Dignity (MASJID) has circulated a petition that calls for the Princeton University Board of Trustees to condemn New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. I don’t support Trump, either, and I agree with the MASJID when they cite his “abhorrent policies” that degrade and dehumanize members of certain groups – groups to which many of my closest friends on this campus belong.

Editorial: Reaffirming Freedom of Expression

President Eisgruber recently stated, “We at Princeton believe that it is a fundamental advantage for a university to be able to tolerate even offensive kinds of speech and to respond to bad arguments when they are made with more speech rather than with disciplinary actions.” His statement was made to defend freedom of expression, up to the point of protecting the right of student groups to commemorate Osama bin Laden, and this Board believes that such freedom extends to other offensive ideas and arguments.This past weekend, a computer hacker known as “Weev” claimed responsibility for printing posters criticizing the presence of Jews in the United States and promoting white supremacy through the website of a group known as The Daily Stormer.

Playing defense: Why AB vs. BSE is a lose-lose game

I am tired of reading New York Times Opinion articles titled some permutation of “The Humanities Are Important.”This is a weird feeling for me to have.

Maneuvering a manipulative media
