Thank you, President Eisgruber, for leading Princeton at a very challenging time. The issue of a university’s responsibility in allowing free speech but protecting the well being of all students is fraught with difficulty. I hope that Princeton is doing well in that regard.
I cannot understand why some alumni are opposed to government funding for research and in favor of Princeton losing its tax-exempt status. Research universities are vital for the advancement of knowledge. Princeton’s endowment supports faculty salaries and makes it possible for talented individuals to attend Princeton, and, hopefully, to continue on “in the nation’s service and the service of humanity.” This is especially important today.
