President Eisgruber’s spirited defense of academic freedom and the unique contributions made by our leading research universities is an inspiring and brave response to the Trump Administration’s extortion. I hope more of his colleagues in the world of higher education follow his lead, rather than engage in the preemptive capitulation that makes Neville Chamberlain look resolute by comparison. I’ve never been prouder to be a Princeton alumnus.
