Excerpt: Thirteen pro-Palestinian protesters are set to head to trial to face trespassing charges in municipal court on April 14, almost exactly one year after occupying Clio Hall last spring.
The trial, which is expected to last three days, was scheduled at a virtual hearing on Jan. 14, after it became clear that the parties could not agree on a proposed plea deal.

Excerpt: On Wednesday, The Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos ’86 announced on X that the Post’s opinion pages would shift to focus on content about “personal liberties and free markets,” and that opposing viewpoints would be “left to be published by others.” While he invoked freedom, he made it clear that columnists at the Post would no longer be allowed free expression.
As the head editors of the The Daily Princetonian Opinion section, we were deeply disturbed by this move. At the ‘Prince,’ we see publishing an ideologically heterogenous range of important and interesting arguments, backed by credible evidence, as essential to the newspaper’s responsibility to our community.

Excerpt: A couple of weeks ago, at 1 a.m., I found out the National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Fellowship I applied for was being canceled because it did not comply with Trump’s new executive order on federal funding for DEI initiatives. I did what anyone from my generation would do in a moment like this: I took to X to share my experience. It’s clear that the Trump administration’s assault against academia has begun — and ultimately students, researchers, and our country are on the losing end.

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: As some universities scrub diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) websites to comply with the Trump administration’s executive orders targeting diversity efforts, Princeton’s websites have largely remained up.

Excerpt: Political scientist and activist Norman Finkelstein GS ’87 returned to campus on Tuesday to discuss the war in Gaza with history professor Max Weiss. Throughout the talk, Finkelstein addressed the United States’ history with the Middle East from the early 2000s, the United Nations’ complicated history with the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the war in Gaza.
