The future of Career Services?

The conventional wisdom that Ivy Leaguers are vacuumed up by finance and consulting firms at the expense of “non-traditional” careers has been so thoroughly discussed by students and pundits that “finance-and-consulting” may as well be a single word.

The “right to offend” goes both ways

If you’ve flipped open a copy of this paper to the Opinion section sometime in the past month, you’ve probably seen somebody discussing (and, in most cases, ardently defending) the so-called “right to offend.” It’s been invoked most frequently in the aftermath of the Black Justice League’s recent sit-in in Nassau Hall, and in response to protests at Columbia and Yale. It’s also been examined multiple times with respect to a more general framework of what it means to be in college in 2015.Though ideas vary from column to column, a general consensus from those in opposition to the protests sweeping college campuses is this: Free speech is valuable; we have a right to say whatever we want, even if it is offensive; and curtailing purportedly offensive speech is unethical and unconstitutional.Funnily enough, I’m not sure many people — on all sides of the discourse — disagree with that statement.

Oops, I skipped it again: disordered eating at Princeton

I have seen them throughout my college years. In fact, I have been one of them in the past. College roommates, friends, voices overheard in the dining hall: “This is my first meal today,” or “I forgot to eat.” My mother would ask, “How could you forget something that you have to do to survive?” But it’s more common than you’d think and less acknowledged than it should be.

More than just rhetoric: Anti-Muslim sentiment endangers lives

Our employers ask us, “Before we hire you, we want to know — what are your views on women’s rights, given you’re in the Muslim Students Association?” Our classmates ask us, “As a Muslim, how do you feel about ISIS?” Our parents ask us, “You haven’t been associating with MSA a lot, have you?” This is the “us vs.

Proxing in: Leaving privacy at the door

What if I told you that the University is tracking your every move? It knows whether or not you’re skipping breakfast, which dorm you visit to see a partner, whether you go back to your own room for the night and, if you do, the exact time you get there.If students twenty years ago were asked to turn this information over, they surely would have refused.
