From a reader:

Jonah,
Since I saw you speak on Princeton’s campus a few years back, you get this email (congratulations).
Yesterday, in a result that seemed to shock everyone, the Princeton student body passed a “Student Bill of Rights” (based “loosely”on David Horowitz’s academic and student bill of rights) with 51.8 percent of the voting students supporting the proposal.
The measure was sponsored by the College Republicans, who made a concerted effort to distance themselves from Horowitz while promoting the referendum.
As a student, I took classes with both Professors Robert P. George and Sean Wilentz, and attended many lectures by Cornel West. Despite the notorious ideologies of each of these men, I have to say that I didn’t (and don’t) see the need for this referendum. Even in West’s class, I always felt more overwhelmed by verbosity than ideology. I’m sure many at The Corner could find many places in more need of such measures than Princeton.
I doubt the measure will have much, if any effect on anything of any consequence, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some opposition factions attempt to turn it against George’s James Madison Program.

Personally, my favorite quote in the article is the following:
“I’m surprised [the vote] was as close as it was,” said Asheesh Siddique ‘07, the leader of Free Exchange at Princeton, which led a campaign against the SBOR. “The Republicans did a good job misleading people.”
Siddique plans on filing a complaint with the USG regarding an introductory economics course, because it ignores “Marxist economic viewpoints, privileging capitalist ones exclusively.”
