Excerpt: Princeton has released its third annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion report, which shares the important work of students, faculty, staff and alumni to build community and support success and belonging at the University. The report highlights Princeton’s long-term and continuing efforts to be more diverse, inclusive, accessible and accountable.

The report provides a snapshot of the many initiatives, programs and events that occurred during the 2022-23 year — all of which were open to all members of the University.

It summarizes a range of activities under the themes of: climate, inclusion and equity, such as workshops on Jewish identity, inclusion and antisemitism available to students and staff of all faiths and ethnicities; academic experience, such as workshops on free speech and academic freedom led by the national organization PEN America for senior administrators, staff, faculty and others; and outreach and access, such as the new Transfer Scholars Initiative supporting the success of talented community college students from across New Jersey.

The James Madison Program hosted Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, on September 17th in celebration of Constitution Day. Attendees received a free copy of Sunstein’s 2023 book How to Interpret the Constitution upon entering. Adults comprised most of the audience with some undergraduate students scattered throughout the lecture hall. I attended in my capacity as a ’24-’25 Writing Fellow for Princetonians for Free Speech, an alumni group that offers many opportunities for student involvement.

Excerpt: Stickers and flyers with hate messages have been found on campus in recent weeks, prompting the University to open investigations and remind the campus community of its role in addressing harassment.

Several weeks later, on Sept. 28, multiple stickers were found scattered across campus on stop signs and bulletin boards with anti-Israel messages, including “Death to ‘Israel’” and “Tel-Aviv [sic] will Burn.”
