Excerpt: On Wednesday, The Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos ’86 announced on X that the Post’s opinion pages would shift to focus on content about “personal liberties and free markets,” and that opposing viewpoints would be “left to be published by others.” While he invoked freedom, he made it clear that columnists at the Post would no longer be allowed free expression.
As the head editors of the The Daily Princetonian Opinion section, we were deeply disturbed by this move. At the ‘Prince,’ we see publishing an ideologically heterogenous range of important and interesting arguments, backed by credible evidence, as essential to the newspaper’s responsibility to our community.

Excerpt: A crowd of about 20 people assembled at Bobst Hall on Princeton University’s campus, as they do every Tuesday morning, to hear from Robert P. George, the founder of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.
George was there on a mission to combat the indoctrination of American youth with progressive values. As he sees it, illiberalism had spread rapidly in recent years, culminating in the campus culture wars that roiled quads from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles last year amid protests over the war in Gaza and the rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

“Princeton Doubles Down on DEI Amid Nationwide Attacks,” the Princeton Alumni Weekly reported recently – and a few weeks later, the Trump Administration launched at warp speed a profusion of legal and rhetorical attacks on universities and their DEI programs for alleged sins against freedom of speech and for “pervasive and repugnant race-based preferences and other forms of racial discrimination.” The Administration may make major cuts of outlays to universities, and Vice President J.D. Vance and others have spoken of taxing income on university endowments.
