SIGNOFF--09-16pawOct_OTC.indd 14 9/19/22 1:29 PMALUMNI UNITE
TO SUPPORT FREE SPEECH
AT PRINCETON
We are Princetonians for Free Speech (PFS). We were created by Princeton alumni
last year as a non-partisan, non-profit organization to promote free speech and
academic freedom at Princeton. We encourage all alumni – as well as other members
of the Princeton family – to join with us in this important cause.
Why PFS? We created PFS because we believe the principles of free speech and
academic freedom are fundamental to the very concept of a university and to the
future of Princeton. Today both principles are under attack at universities across the
country, including Princeton.
Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. Yet recent events and polls show that
many students, and even faculty, do not understand the importance of free speech
and academic freedom. In fact, they often oppose these principles.
What does PFS do? Through our website, we provide in-depth information on the
issues of free speech and academic freedom. We regularly post articles and original
content on developments at Princeton, as well as articles on developments at
universities elsewhere.
Most importantly, PFS has rallied, and
will continue to rally, support for students
and faculty who are attacked or harassed
for expressing their views. PFS is also a vehicle
for Princetonians to contact the university about
developments on campus that they believe
impede free speech and academic freedom.
What can you do? Join hundreds of your fellow
alumni who have already come together to fight for
free speech and academic freedom at Princeton!
Go to princetoniansforfreespeech.com and while there,
subscribe to our regular email alerts. Join us today!
