Undoubtedly, Toni Morrison’s absence will be felt in this moment of craven moral complacency, political turmoil, and subjugating authoritarianism.
And consider this article an exhortation. If you were expecting a robust political activism scene here as I was, given the prowess of the Woodrow Wilson School, think again. It’s up to us — including you, Class of 2023 — to change that.
International students should not have to bear a major financial burden because of the University’s mistake, and the administration should act to rectify it.
International undergraduate students write a letter to President Eisgruber on behalf of all international students affected by the Optional Practical Training (OPT) work authorization processing delays.
Reforming Princeton's Title IX process will take more than oversight and town hall meetings.
By positioning administrators, who are not tasked to listen to protesters’ 2019 demands, but rather to monitor and restrict their lawful behavior, in close physical proximity to demonstrators, the University stifles the type of unfettered, unsettling free speech it claims to champion.

Within the last three weeks, two events shocked society. In Sri Lanka, bombings killed hundreds of innocent citizens on Easter Sunday; in France, a fire destroyed part of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. To me, one of these events is clearly more devastating than the other.
Ultimately, if we want there to be any kind of change to conduct in our bathrooms, we will have to speak to either the rambunctious defilers of our common spacers themselves, or we will need to be willing to pick up the phone and contact University administrators who can act.
Often in the movement for criminal justice reform the question is, “How do we reduce mass incarceration?” What if we asked, “How do we eliminate incarceration altogether?”
