Excerpt: This Saturday, Princeton will confer the Woodrow Wilson Award, the University’s prestigious alumni prize for public service, to Associate Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan ’81. The name of this annual honor is yet another reminder of the University’s predilection for praising its most polemic figures.
But there is no need to abandon uncomfortable history, nor is there any merit to overly defending the depraved. The University must commit to truth, representing its history and its icons more honestly. And as it does so, we need to flood the Princeton canon with more monuments to Princeton’s unsung heroes.

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.

Iran, a country of enforced Islam, state-sponsored terrorism, and a brutal gender apartheid regime, has found an unusual ally here in America, a place willing to house and promote its propagandists.
That place is Princeton University, which has gladly let its prestige to people who do things like: defend Iran's record on women's rights; called the Iranian revolution a glorious moment of utopian possibilities; and claim the country is not, in fact, a dictatorship.
Peer under the prestige and you'll find a place that's so drenched in academic jargon and reflexive anti-Americanism that it's willing to support defenders of a patently evil regime.
