Excerpt: University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 spoke out against the Trump administration’s higher education compact in a LinkedIn post on Oct. 10, calling the proposed agreement on university funding “a dangerous step in the wrong direction.”
He also thanked the presidents of the Association of American Universities (AAU), and the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) for opposing the compact, which was sent to nine universities, including Brown, Dartmouth, and the University of Pennsylvania in early October.
I really think you are pushing a very dangerous agenda. The Trump administration is 100% for the Republic of America. The previous administration as well as the Obama administration are more for socialism, in my day people that felt that way and talked that way were called communist. I think you need to reread history and really think about the stuff you’re pushing out there. This is a Christian country based on Christian values.

Excerpt: On Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, Sunrise Princeton, alongside the Princeton Progressive Coalition, organized a rally of more than 100 demonstrators. We called on the University to act as a leader by defending life-or-death climate research, divesting from weapons manufacturers to end the genocide in Palestine, protecting immigrants and international students, and safeguarding academic freedom in a time when rising authoritarianism threatens progress across the world.
As a lead organizer for this rally, I learned an important lesson: Princeton students care a lot about progressive change, and are willing to publicly display their support because they’re optimistic that their actions can make a difference on a policy level. They just feel like they’re too damn busy.

Universities should absolutely be allowed to decide what to teach – as long as they accept no taxpayer dollars.
