Opinion

There's nothing like trying meddle with two guarded foundations of the Princeton community to "awaken the sleeping giant." In the past weeks, two of the most sacrosanct institutions of student life, the street and grades, have come under some undesired scrutiny and have roused condemnation from a normally apathetic student body.

Rape kits

The work going into next week's "Take Back the Night" event proves that many Princeton students and staff members are anything but passive when it comes to confronting the issue of sexual assault on campus.But the University's continued failure to guarantee that student victims of sexual assault have ready access to a "rape kit" ? the specialized equipment and health services necessary for collecting physical evidence after an assault ? shows a lesser degree of resolve.We do not take lightly the cost of maintaining a rape kit capacity, which requires $30,000 of equipment and 24-hour availability of trained personnel.
