Thank you for your timely and insightful coverage of campus demonstrations around the Gaza war (On the Campus, June issue).
Regarding the Clio Hall occupation, while I don’t fully agree with the protesters (and I appreciate Princeton’s support when Israel was attacked, in my junior year and again 50 years later), they are continuing a long legacy of campus activism. The damage they did is minor compared with past demonstrations, or even a rowdy night on Prospect Street. The University should keep this in mind when considering discipline.
Editor’s note: The University said in a May 20 statement that the Princeton students arrested at Clio Hall were unlikely to face penalties greater than probation.
