The #PrincetonU Board of Trustees has voted to remove Woodrow Wilson’s name from the School of Public Policy and International Affairs and residential college. bit.ly/2YCctPR
The trustees have concluded that Wilson’s racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school or college whose scholars, students, and alumni must stand firmly against racism in all its forms.
The public policy school will now be known as “The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs” or @PrincetonSPIA and the residential college will be known as “First College.”
#PrincetonU has determined it will not accept funding allocated under the CARES Act. Princeton has not yet received any of these funds, and never requested any of these funds.
Congress allocated CARES Act funding to colleges and universities to ensure that they could support Pell grant recipients and other students impacted by #COVID19. Funds were allocated based on a formula determined by the federal government.
Princeton’s no-loan financial aid packages and other programs are designed to provide exceptional levels of support to our students, including DACA beneficiaries and international students. We remain committed to providing this support.

Returning home represents a vital gesture of care for those who can’t leave campus. The more students who leave, the easier it will be to care for those who may become ill and to manage the eventual impact of #COVID19.
All classes, lectures, seminars, labs, and precepts will move to virtual instruction beginning Monday, March 23rd and remain virtual through the end of Spring 2020, including exams.
President Eisgruber updates #PrincetonU on next steps regarding #COVID19 to ensure the health and well-being of the entire community. bit.ly/2vQDvri
Our medical advisors tell us the best time to put in place policies to contain the spread of #COVID19 is now, before we begin to see cases on our campus.
To help mitigate the risk of #COVID19 transmission, we will begin instituting a series of policies and practices based on social distancing — we will virtualize any activities, such as lectures, seminars and precepts, that can be put online.

As always I start my thread by recognizing my own position in this conversation: I am a (proud) Latina woman training to be a physician-scientist. I hold a lot of privilege having attended an Ivy League institution for undergrad and currently training as a #DoubleDocs at another.
My own alma mater #PrincetonU has been recently grappling with its own (problematic) history by taking active steps to diversify iconography + naming around campus. I am proud to say that this is in part due to a meeting I co-hosted as co-president of PLA in combo with other orgs
