Recognize women’s athletic achievements with a bonfire too

“Celebrating only the football team sends the message that football is Princeton’s most important sport; that their successes, and only their successes, are worth the entire school’s attention, and that they take priority over both other men’s teams and all women’s teams.”

In a time of war, don’t post what you won’t perpetrate

“War is not simple, nor is it something most of us are ever going to participate in. We must not simplify it whilst we sit in privileged safety.”

Humanities courses can solve Princeton's civic service problem

"When students do not take courses in the humanities, they miss out on studying works which ask how to determine what it means to be good, and why you should pursue the good. In a climate in which students don’t have the basic ability of interrogating these questions, how could a university expect its students to go forth and creatively serve their nation and humanity at large? Service cannot be reduced to post-graduation careers, but it can be predicted from the quality and type of an education itself."

Elite universities are not the great equalizers of society

“As Emma Green proposed in her 2020 interview with President Eisgruber ’83, ‘an investment in the elite few is ultimately a less robust vision of justice.’ But this does not make Princeton’s existence, nor its goal of using education to achieve new intellectual and humane heights, unimportant or unattainable.”

DISPATCH | A very Gershwin summer: seeing Paris as it is and as it is not

“...there is nothing I can do but be swept along and attempt to fit in as much as possible before my short stint is up.”

How do I have it all? Women, careers, and Princeton’s blind spot

“While Princeton often begs us to think about the future, there are not enough offerings to realistically support women in this endeavor.”

Let them eat crepes: stop abusing Pay with Points

“Financial aid resources should not force students to choose which aspects of the Princeton community they are able to participate in, especially when the programs are directed to specific ends. The Pay with Points program was not brought about in order to allow students facing financial difficulties to have more access to social life — all those involved clearly created the initiative in order to increase town engagement.”

Try argument, not extortion

If Hoffman really wants to change the University, he’s likely to have much more success with argument rather than manipulation.

Conservative values can exist within a liberal framework

“Conservatives such as Hazony argue that the University should define its own purpose for students, whereas liberals push for students to define the purpose of the University on their own.”
