As a loyal Princetonian I commend President Eisgruber’s defense of noxious ideas within the academic forum. Although as a Jew I may be deeply offended by some of the courseware offered (see “Book Assigned for Princeton Course Criticized as Antisemitic,” October 2023 issue), I will defend its presentation within an unbiased forum.
While courses are proposed and approved by the faculty, the question I have is would President Eisgruber consider a course entitled “Religious Dismantling of Western Civilization: The Carcinogenic Metaphor of Infect, Infiltrate, Metastasize, and Strangulation” or another entitled “Religious Hegemony via the Early Co-opting of Academia”?
