When what you eat is your only sense of control, the chaos of pandemic is life-threatening.
Even when some of us have figured out the right answers, we need those who disagree to put forward their best arguments so that we can try to communicate and make progress together.
We’re thrilled to announce a new vision for our publication.
USG’s low voter turnout rate leaves me with no choice but to declare it as an illegitimate government formed by a minority of students to speak on behalf of a supposed majority.
We should resist the impulse of going back to business as usual and embrace a growing movement to build a better society.
We must do some searching self-examination about what this moment in the history of the fight against racism asks of us.
If we admire the city’s glamour, it’s only right that we study its underlying issues as well.
Let’s replace Bicker culture with service culture.
It is unfair for partial-aid families to continue to have the same financial burden placed on them for this inherently less valuable semester.
Princeton will no doubt one day go back to the way it was, but until then, we have to be grateful for the small things and stop lamenting what we had, so that sooner rather than later, we can have it back again.

I don’t see why an author’s skin color should play any role in evaluating an argument. People, arguments, viewpoints, and listserv posts should be judged by their content, not by their color.
Science alone cannot combat this pandemic without substantial help from the humanities and a well-blended combination of both in an individual’s education equips them with lifelong tools to respond in the time of a crisis.
Antiracism is not about replacing or rewriting history. It is about the intellectual sincerity of learning different aspects of history. Princeton is not being asked to erase its curriculum, it is being beseeched to complete it.
Our “apolitical” campus seems to be bordering on apathetic. Although voting has never been more important, Princetonians are still lagging behind the rest of the country and even other universities in voter turnout. The 2020 elections are coming fast, and we should not — we cannot — stand behind the walls of the “bubble” while others decide our future for us.
