Excerpt: Amid a national decline in study of the humanities, prestigious universities are cutting their entire classics departments. As a discipline, classics may seem to fly under the radar — classics majors comprised less than one percent of Princeton’s graduating Class of 2024. But over the last few years, classics has been the subject of charged conversations tying closely back to Princeton. This has sparked fundamental questions about what to do when books known as great and inspirational are called out for inspiring dangerous political movements.

Excerpt: A University-registered lobbyist opposed two New Jersey Senate Bills regarding legacy admissions and definitions of antisemitism and Islamophobia in the 2024 legislative session, according to lobbying records obtained by The Daily Princetonian.
Amid the ongoing scrutiny of higher education from the federal government, both bills would have had profound implications for Princeton’s admissions policies, free speech on campus, and sources of funding.
