Excerpt: Nine months ago in The Daily Princetonian, I described how the Resources Committee of the Council of the Princeton University Community, which I chair, would take up a divestment and dissociation request related to the State of Israel.
I outlined our approach, promising it would include careful consideration of input from the broad University community, and cautioning that it might be a lengthy process. That process has concluded, and the Committee has decided against forwarding a dissociation recommendation to the Board of Trustees.

Excerpt: In the wake of slashed graduate admissions at the University of Pennsylvania and other colleges, the University has not directed departments to reduce the number of admissions officers, graduate school spokesperson Tracy Meyer told The Daily Princetonian.
Indeed, for many graduate students and professors, it is business as usual when it comes to admissions.

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.

Having wasted time on this issue, will the Resources Committee be looking as dissociation from Iran, China, Russia, Congo, N. Korea? Better use of their time.
