Terms of Respect defends student speech — but doesn’t respect it

University President Christopher Eisgruber speaks at a podium in the Princeton University Art Museum's Grand Hall.

Terms of Respect defends student speech — but doesn’t respect it

Ava Johnson
| OPINION | 6 days ago

Eisgruber characterizes student speech as practice, not real engagement. His one-dimensional view of students fails to account for our simultaneous existence within and outside of the Orange Bubble. But our speech, like us, is not confined to the Princeton community, and attempting to shield or protect students from the real world can underrate our participation in it.

Attacks on trans women affect us all

Attacks on trans women affect us all

| OPINION | March 26

The rhetoric and policy proposals attacking transgender women affect us similarly. They explicitly seek to define womanhood, and their widespread acceptance gives legitimacy and legislative force to the practice of telling women who they are and what they can do.

Faculty diversity is important for many of the same reasons that student diversity is — diverse identities bring diverse perspectives that enrich an academic environment, and are especially important to make a diversity of students feel welcome.
