Conspicuously absent from the article, yet an important factor in both how the expansion will be sustained and the student experience of the expansion, is the impact on the staff of Princeton. There will be more 10% more students to be fed and housed, 25% more buildings to clean and keep in repair, and more campus to landscape and keep free of snow. Hopefully the initial and ongoing budgeting includes getting in enough new people, and paying them well enough so that Princeton is seen as not just a place for a great education but also a great employer. The return on that investment is significant and long-lasting.
