Many turn to the 'Prince' as a major source for Princeton life. Parents and alumni have subscriptions or read it online, not to mention prospective and current students, faculty, students at other schools, and ? judging from the mail I get ? random people from all over the country.For this reason, the 'Prince' is obliged to take appropriate caution in how it represents the school and its students.Newspapers are a record of our history, and they bear the responsibility to be fair, balanced, informative, and inclusive.
