Princeton University’s announcement on September 29th to dissociate from the fossil fuel industry was inescapable. After major institutions like Harvard and Brown succumbed to public pressure, it was only a matter of time before Princeton would follow suit, eliminating fossil fuel holdings from its endowment and banning funding from hydrocarbon producing corporations. While the decision […]

That proposal, which needed nine votes to become a Senate-sponsored referendum and appear before the student […]

The upcoming election between J.D. Vance and Tim Ryan for the vacant Ohio U.S. Senate seat is critical for both parties, as Senate control will likely be decided by a few contested races. Things are heating up as the candidates trade insults during debates and chuck footballs while calling the opposition’s policies “bullsh*t” during non-stop […]

When I first stepped onto Princeton’s campus, I was surprised by what appeared to be a significant lack of wokeness. Throughout my childhood, I had been told by my conservative friends, family, and the media that the modern university is the bastion of progressive indoctrination. And while our University’s progressive bias is certainly evident, the […]

Outspoken conservatism puts a target on your back; hold any other views, and you are free to skirt accepted norms and University regulations as you please. That is what I discovered through a dive into a case of sexual assault and academic fraud by a Princeton employee in the early 2000s. In 2006, Princeton failed […]

In October and November of 2018, all you heard about was the midterm elections. Every social media feed was flooded with reminders to vote. Late night talk shows exhorted viewers to get to the polls. Even Borat came back to haunt our Republic on the eve of voting. Midterm elections are again upon us, four […]

But most of the dialogue that swept the country was focused less on the constitutionality of a woman’s right to have an abortion and more on the morality of abortion generally. Too […]

This year’s orientation programming for the Class of 2026 featured a diversity and inclusion program that shocked me. This reaction was due not to the event’s topic or who the student speakers were but to the dangerous implications of adopting the mentality that some of them seemed to be proposing: equating one’s entire identity to […]

Lincoln once said that “we cannot escape history.” For that reason, I understand the instinct to delve into the imperfections of our Constitution and national past and recognize that our failings are part of our story just as much as our triumphs are. But to focus solely on imperfections is a form of the historical […]

In the popular imagination and in that of its students, is about progress. Technological innovation and new ideas are the coins of the realm.
