I was glad to read and sign the open letter published by Dean Slaughter and other distinguished alumni. For Princetonians looking for more ways to support the University in its stand for academic freedom, consider committing donations to the cause via the Princeton Freedom Fund petition: https://bit.ly/ptonfreedomfund
As we are learning from the cases of Harvard and others, the nation’s universities are in for a long struggle against government villainization. They will need support from alumni and the public in spades. Princeton has already announced significant budget cuts over the coming years. In addition to providing their moral support, alumni can soften the impact and make a strong showing of solidarity with their financial commitments.
Tripling our Annual Giving donations, at an average cost of $2,100 per alumnus/a, would fill the reported $210 million hole left by federal defunding. Princetonians of classes from 1952 to 2020 have responded to our petition to commit dollars toward that goal, as they are able. Please consider joining them. As graduates, we are in a unique position to defend the principles that make Princeton and other American universities great, to absorb some of the impact on University staff and students, and to set an example to all of dedication in the nation’s service.
