Peter Barzilai ’97, PAW Editor
Email to Princeton Alumni Weekly Subscribers

Editor’s note: This is letter that was sent to PAW email subscribers affirming the magazine’s editorial independence. We believe it may be of interest to PFS subscribers as well.

Shortly after the November cover article on Edoardo Almagià ’73 and the Princeton University Art Museum published on PAW’s website, I noticed a comment reacting to the story on social media: “Aren’t alum magazines supposed to be all puffery?”

Not all of them. PAW, as we like to remind everyone, is editorially independent, one of the precious few that can claim this. Some Princeton alumni are skeptical. They write us and want PAW to be critical of the University about free speech or campus construction or student mental health or how it makes and spends money. We do report on these issues and others on a regular basis and in an unbiased way. It’s fair to argue whether we should go deeper into certain topics or news events.

Princeton Should Be More Elitist

Much of my writing and observations on free speech and academic freedom at Princeton over the past several years in some way revolve around the relationship between the ivory tower and civil society. I have stressed why a liberal society depends on liberal education, the tensions between civic education and the pursuit of truth, and how campus protests mirror social revolutions. Of course, as has been repeated numerous times, free speech is the only way universities can adhere to their truth-seeking missions. However, academic freedom is important from the civil society angle as well, as it legitimizes elite institutions in the eyes of a wider democratic society.

What does it mean to Stand Up For Princeton?

With President Eisgruber personally leading the academic “resistance” against the Trump administration’s attack on elite universities, Princeton launched a campaign, announced in the Daily Princetonian on May 2, that “encourages alumni, faculty, students, and friends to make their voices heard in support of higher education during this challenging period.” Stand Up for Princeton and Higher Education aims to deputize a cadre of the most influential Americans – Princetonians themselves – who tend to have strong nostalgia for their alma mater, not merely to pay it forward to future Princetonians through donations but to become a kind of political force defending the university in Washington.

Reconsidering External Threats

The second Trump administration's attack on higher education has reinvigorated conversations around academic freedom. Concerns once relegated to the center and the right have been taken up again by the left with newfound salience. Princeton, thankfully, has managed to escape the worst of the madness, despite some major cuts to research funding. This relatively privileged situation has not stopped Princetonians from debating, discussing, and defending academic freedom at Princeton.
