Hold Princeton to its Values

As the U-Council Chair and the chair of the Mental Health Resources Task Force, I know that Princeton often fails to live up to its stated values like sustainability, transparency, and accessibility. As your president, I'll take these concrete actions to hold Princeton accountable

​

Sustainability

• Hold Princeton to its word on fossil fuel dissociation

• Institutionalize the move-out/resale event

• Work with Princeton and other community partners like the eating clubs to increase composting options

• Increase vegan/vegetarian options in the dining halls

• Support the EcoReps in ensuring student voices help guide any sustainability communications

​

Transparency

• Host regular office hours to connect student activists with relevant USG members and administrators

• Provide more guidance for students who want to introduce referenda about how to write them so that they have an impact

• Have administrators start interacting directly with more students by continuing the meals with admin program and asking them to sign up for other events like intramurals

• Push for the Dining Pilot working group to be actually transparent

• Complete a survey of current students so that admin understands what problems we actually have with upperclass dining

​

Accessibility

• Advocate for standardizing policies that allow for difficult times during the semester like late days

• Start conversations about whether a 12-week semester is the right amount of time for students to be able to actually engage with the material

• Increase the number of drop-in hours offered for communities on campus that need specialized care

• Improve lighting on campus, especially around ongoing construction

• Have Princeton provide grants for international students from countries without a tax treaty to prevent students from having to pay out of pocket to receive their financial aid

• Streamline the process of applying for and receiving emergency funding
