A Lesson for Princeton

I’m a bit surprised to be seated at my computer to send a letter to the editor of PAW praising not Princeton, but Harvard. But there’s definitely an important message here for Princeton. The Harvard decision to cancel the remainder of the season for their men’s soccer team (because of exceptionally sexually uncouth behavior) and to waive any postseason games is laudable and places an important marker in the ground for other universities like our own.

Where is the line for responsible/irresponsible undergraduate behavior? Even though it seems pretty obvious to most of us, not many universities have yet drawn the line where Harvard just did. Take note, Princeton.
