Excerpt: Some institutions have been cowed by threats from the federal government. This acquiescence is dangerous. Complying with constitutionally contested directives before judges rule on their legality normalizes them. As Columbia’s example has taught us, even repeated concessions to the Trump administration won’t protect you. As an institution relatively insulated from financial shocks from the federal government, we have a unique responsibility to speak out. Even among the Ivy League, Princeton’s wealth, prestige, and historical reputation as the most conservative Ivy give the University unique influence.

Excerpt: Taxpayers will no longer subsidize a Princeton University program that induces “climate anxiety” among K-12 students, according to the Trump administration.
The Department of Commerce “announced that nearly $4 million in funding is ending to Princeton University,” according to an April 8 news release. The decision followed “a detailed, careful, and thorough review of the Department’s financial assistance programs against National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s…current program objectives.”

Excerpt: Congressional Republicans have launched an investigation into the financial aid practices of all eight Ivy League universities, including Princeton, accusing the universities of collectively raising the tuition prices. The probe follows broader scrutiny of higher education from the federal government, and it comes as Princeton officials have said they are committed to protecting financial aid.
The letter requested wide-ranging documents related to University admissions, financial aid, and communications between University administrators and college application-assistance websites such as the College Board and the Common Application. The University has until next Tuesday to release these documents to the committee.
