Viral Voting

It’s like precept, but for campaign ads.

The Problem of Power and the Prince

“Eisgruber’s case, while morally objectionable, is at least understandable in light of his position as University president. As one who answers to several conflicted parties, he must at times make concessions that, while consistently appealing to the least satisfying intersection of opposing parties, keep at least some subset of people happy. The Prince, unlike Eisgruber, is (supposedly) not a spokesperson for the University.”

Workers’ Town Hall

“Service workers are fundamentally underpaid in light of the rising cost of living in New Jersey. The wages that they receive, while on an hourly rate higher than most other service workers, do not reflect the fact that they live in the fifth most expensive state in the country… Change is possible, but only through collective action. We hope that the student body will turn out on May 9th to demonstrate to the University that the community stands in solidarity with workers.”

The New Jersey Border

How the town of Princeton and other New Jersey cities just shy of sanctuary status negotiate safety for undocumented immigrants.

by Alice Maiden on March 4, 2018March 4, 2018

The Character of Princeton

“The town claims these sites as essential to their identity, forming gateways to enter into their unique area of New Jersey. But the sites belong to Princeton University, whose influence is world renowned, far surpassing that of the town. How can the town genuinely foster these sites into the fabric of its identity, while they contribute more to the University’s character rather than its own?”

Robert George, Polish Law, and the Obsession with Discourse

“It is fantastic that Professor George supports free speech and open discourse—his track record on that subject speaks for itself—and he is correct that this law’s criminalization of speech should be loudly condemned; however, it is not enough to defend free speech by itself.”

by Ethan Sterenfeld on February 25, 2018February 24, 2018

Nothing Recycled

“Last spring, five Princeton undergraduates founded Woke Wednesdays, a podcast dedicated to issues of race on Ivy League campuses and across America.”

Hotovely’s Excursion in the Orange Bubble

“Princeton is a university that cares deeply about free speech. However, Princeton, much like the CJL, at least suggests the idea that it does believe in limits to free speech.”

by Joshua Judd Porter on December 3, 2017February 10, 2018

Even Princeton, Once Again

“While this moment in Princeton’s political history may not be entirely novel, it is a fire bell in the collective memory of the current University community.”
