According to The Crimson, “students cited their experiences in introductory classes as particularly traumatic—saying that some male teaching fellows would drive their classes at relentless rate [sic].” Unless WISHR members suggest that women are somehow less able to handle the pace of these introductory courses than their male peers—a suggestion that, had it been made by Summers, would have caused scandal—there’s no reason to suggest that this “relentless rate” of teaching would affect women more adversely than...

Except we?...

Margolin, president of Princeton’s Undergraduate Student Government, wrote in an e-mail. Margolin said that before, few students wrote letters, and only when professors were up for tenure. Now, the administration hopes, students will provide feedback year round...
