The primary resources that Wilson School students ? including those enrolled in the certificate program ? have exclusive access to are task forces and internship funding.
Universities are not corporations, and no university, much less one of Britain’s flagship institutions, should be “[c]reat[ing] financially viable academic activity by disinvesting from areas that are at sub-critical level with no realistic prospect of extra investment.”
Students who are qualified for admission to Princeton should not be denied access to one of the University’s departments unless the University has insufficient resources to meet student demand. Demand for Wilson School certificates does not appear to have surpassed this threshold. Accordingly, the Wilson School should make the application process for the certificate non-competitive.
It is unfair to allow certificate students to use the school’s resources based on the criterion of "self-selection" alone while concentrators are required to undergo a competitive process and be evaluated on more factors.
Plans to dedicate first floor of New South to the arts are ironic.
Why is it that, on a campus of free, independent, creative minds, we have such a burdened air, a weight on each of our brows that keeps them furrowed in concentration, an iron suit of obligation to put ourselves through hell and back for things we no longer seem to enjoy? We slap our palms to our foreheads, snore over a pile of books, stare mutinously at the director, coach or teacher before us, but do nothing to break free.
As the deadlines draw near and the excuses dwindle, I propose that we supplement the usual channels of procrastination by re-examining the very practice itself. Why do we write a thesis?
The University should consider modifying its current requirements so that students can take more science classes without lab while still fulfilling their science and technology (ST) distribution requirement.
Princeton has an overwhelming number of lectures, dinners and roundtable discussions. The opportunities to attend these events are endless. But why aren't students taking advantage of these amazing opportunities?
Some people have told me that being vegan is immoral because it is inherently unhealthy. Yes, there are unhealthy vegans, but that doesn’t mean that all vegans are unhealthy.
Neagu does raise a tricky issue: What happens when a guy and a girl are at a party, they flirt, get “very drunk,” go home and have sex. Neither of them was legally capable of consent. Was there rape? And who raped whom?
If the University’s goal is truly to provide all undergraduate students with equality of opportunity when choosing dining options, the financial-aid policy must accurately reflect this goal.
Though we have been using the word “tool” in everyday speech for the better part of a decade, I am beginning to get a distinct feeling that none of us knows exactly what it means.
The act of strolling to class was replaced with leaping, climbing, hoisting and crawling. That is, leaping over ice banks, ice-climbing up snow-mountains, hoisting myself up slip-and-slide staircases and, finally, crawling when there were no other options.
