U. axes academic calendar, will require individual faculty to determine course schedules

Gordin and Shandley noted that abolishing the calendar would provide undergraduates with greater flexibility, building on the final assessment reforms implemented in Spring 2025. “Following the resounding success of the abolition of Dean’s Date, we have decided the best path forward is to eliminate the University-wide academic calendar altogether,” said Gordin.

I’m sure that when the responsible University administrators see Eisgruber walking from Nassau Hall to Olives, they do not think, “what a pitiable, isolated person who is struggling with food access.” If only they would apply the same respect to our decisions and ability to care for ourselves, too.

Rising seniors who apply to their college’s draw receive an additional 0.1 points to their draw weight for every year they’ve lived in their college, ensuring that those who successfully drew in in their junior year get priority. The University must abolish this unreasonable rule to restore fairness to the room draw process.

In a time when Princeton and higher education are under fire, we ought to be uniting against the threats and supporting the academic freedom principles that Eisgruber has championed.

Though an introductory microeconomics course like the one SPIA requires cannot hope to address diverse topics like law, healthcare, agriculture, and the environment, what ECO 100 succeeds in is that it provides the foundations for in-depth analysis of these complex, important, and policy-relevant problems.

Why can’t lecturers win the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching?

Let’s acknowledge those who make “boutique teaching” possible, those who work tirelessly to make our rigorous curricula more accessible, and those who dedicate their time to advising and guiding us through all the challenges we face at this University. Lecturers should be eligible for the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching.
