More than 200 Princeton University faculty have signed a letter demanding nearly 50 initiatives to address what the scholars contend is rampant anti-blackness and racism that festers at the Ivy League institution.
“At this moment of massive global uprising in the name of racial justice, we the faculty—Black, Latinx, Asian, and members of all communities of color along with our white colleagues—call upon the University to take immediate concrete and material steps to openly and publicly acknowledge the way that anti-Black racism, and racism of any stripe, continue to thrive on its campus,” stated the demand letter.
The letter is dated July 4 and addressed to President Christopher Eisgruber and various provosts and deans....
It is already getting criticism from some.
“Princeton faculty letter calls for eliminating academic freedom via a committee that would review all publications for racist thought (racist defined by the committee). It was issued on….July 4th,” points out writer Zaid Jilani on Twitter.
Another writer on Twitter, Wesley Yang, notes the demands include “(among many other things remarkable things) an explicit demand for ideological conformity in minority faculty hiring. In other words, no more Glenn Loury, John McWhorter or Adolph Reeds allowed.”...

Princeton is history.
The left is made up of thousands of small groups each with their own agenda. Regardless of the demands being made, they are being made in the name of just a small group.
Giving in to those demands solves nothing. It just means another group will come forward with their set of demands.
It is a no win situation. The only way to win is to not play the game (as shown in wargame).
The rulers, intellectuals, yet idiot rulers of this elite college are feeling the decades of hate America going after them not just the rest of America.
Dollars to donuts, Princeton alumna Michelle Obama agrees with the faculty.
And they’re probably all tenured and ain’t now way they can be terminated. Not that princeton would do that anyway. Capitulation is the name of the game.
Pretty well sums it up. Ya didn’t do enough or ya did too much that was wrong.
Ouch!
Summary: Princeton’s goin’ down.
Note the capitalization of the various groups - or lack thereof.
Princeton now grants faculty members a semester of paid leave after they have worked for five continuous semesters, but the letter demands that minority faculty receive an extra semester of leave. “Being required to chiefly and constantly ‘serve’ and ‘represent’ in the interest of administrative goals robs the imagination and interrupts any possibility of concerted thought,” the letter says.
Lol, that one borders on hilarious. They just can't allow any admission policies that lower academic standards, now can they?
Unfortunately it doesn’t end there, given the many black mediocrities I see being peddled on TV “news”, with far too many of them being “professors”.
I have a “demand”: GET A LIFE!!!!
They should just close the school down permanently
“So much for the ivy league. What a joke! Sheer ignorance.”
Yes. Most definitely.
“....All leftist universities bend over backwards to attract and cater to black students. Black students are allowed in with much lower qualifications than for whites and Asians. Then they are elevated and given special treatment once they are students. It’s pure insanity that they still make claims of racism even in hard-left environments where they are treated as superior because of their race....”
Yep. And the sad part about this is that it’s been going on for at least 50 years. And look at the results of it. Whadda bad joke it is. Nothing but gimmie dis, gimmie dat, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie.. sickening..
Black, Latinx, Asian, and members of all communities of color along with our white colleagues
Last I heard white was also a color. Yet, here it seems to warrant special mention.
Of course all the white faculty members involved will resign immediately in order to help resolve the centuries of racism at Princeton.
