Don’t let speakers preach to their own choir

While busy Princetonians are perhaps not inclined to spend time that could be used for a reading at yet another speaker event, this community has been known to show up to protest controversial speakers. And while protest is a valuable form of political engagement, it is worth considering listening to a speaker before we interrupt them. Protest makes a statement, but dialogue is an avenue for intellectual growth.

Princeton should put first-year family weekend back where it belongs

But rather than scheduling family weekend before our two fall recesses, the University seems to think that first-year students need to see their families the third Saturday after midterms. Much like the recent dining plan changes, this subpar scheduling is the University failing to coordinate its administrative planning with considerations for student well-being.
