FIRELetter to the Editor in āThe Daily Princetonianā
In response to boos from the audience during a portion of Princetonās āSex on a Saturday Nightā play when two males kissed, Andy Brown, the playās co-director, an editorial in The Daily Princetonian condemning those who jeered. He wrote that:
notes [Princetonās] definition [of sexual harassment] to the realm of sexual orientation on their website: Booing the portrayed scene was harassment based on sexual orientation. This means that the booing was completely unacceptable by University standards.
This policy and others have earned Princeton a red light on ¹ū¶³“«Ć½app¹Ł·½ās Spotlight. ¹ū¶³“«Ć½app¹Ł·½ās Director of Legal and Public Advocacy Samantha Harris, a Princeton alumna, wrote a that the Princetonian published Tuesday. She said:
This accusation [of harassment], along with Princeton's overbroad definition of harassment, is ludicrous.ā¦. Princeton claims to value free expression, but maintains many policies āincluding the harassment policy cited by Brownāthat prohibit speech which would, outside of a private university, be protected by the First Amendment. Shouldn't Princeton students have the same rights as their counterparts down the road at Mercer County Community College?
