Today’s message from the President of Princeton University:
Dear Princeton community:
Princeton University yesterday and today received notifications from government agencies including the Department of Energy, NASA, and the Defense Department suspending several dozen Princeton research grants. The full rationale for this action is not yet clear, but I want to be clear about the principles that will guide our response.
Princeton University will comply with the law. We are committed to fighting antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, and we will cooperate with the government in combating antisemitism. Princeton will also vigorously defend academic freedom and the due process rights of this University.
We have begun reaching out to affected faculty, academic researchers, and grants managers. My colleagues or I will continue to be in touch as information becomes available. Anyone with specific questions should contact grantsquestions@princeton.edu.
Thank you for your resilience and commitment to our shared mission during this challenging time.

Princeton’s alumni number over 100,000. Their career choices and incomes are diverse, but, on the average, they are considerably more affluent than other college graduates.
143 colleges and universities have endowments exceeding $1 billion. Among those 143, Princeton ranks number 5.
In view of Princeton’s great wealth, many alumni have found other objects for our charity. Now is the time to reconsider, and to do what must be done.
