Princeton showed great progress in its positive presentation on free speech during this year's orientation, but much work remains to be done, as shown in the just released annual free speech rankings from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE). Princeton was a poor 169 out of 203 colleges and universities ranked. These rankings are largely based on students perceptions, and therefore do not directly address Princeton issues such as the attack on Professor Katz for an article he wrote by the University itself over the last year. Hopefully this year's orientation will lead to further positive actions, and Princeton's FIRE ranking will improve next year.
