Excerpt: Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber said at Harvard talk on Wednesday that universities should enforce clear time, place, and manner rules against student protesters — and refuse to negotiate with activists while they are violating university rules.
The Princeton president’s talk, which was moderated by Harvard College Dean David J. Deming drew dozens of students and faculty to Sanders Theatre. Deming spoke with Eisgruber about the themes of his recent book — Terms of Respect, which was published in September and focuses on free speech on college campuses — and Eisgruber’s own observations from his 12 years leading Princeton.

As of Thursday, the note had been removed from every account except Princeton’s.
