Did Princeton Secretly Want To Get Caught?

The stakes are enormous. We have a good bit of sympathy for all these great universities. There is a streak to us that reckons the best part of wisdom is for the government and courts just to leave them alone. Yet some of the evidence turned up in, say, the fight against Harvard is startling. And even as the well-endowed universities have come to rely more and more on federal grants, they have sold some of their independence.

Meantime, the purity now being demanded by our cancel culture is frightening to millions of decent Americans. This is a climate in which Mr. Eisgruber s stumble will leave many with a sense of schadenfreude. Princeton won t even defend the most recent of its graduates* to be elected president of America. It makes us wonder whether it recognizes that a federal case could be the best way to sort all this out.
