He claimed that soon after he received an anonymous note stuffed into his mailbox in the Frist Campus Center, reading: "YOU HAVE FOUND THE WRONG CAUSE." He told University police that the threat resurfaced after he wrote a November 9th op-ed in the Princetonian decrying the ready availability of condoms on campus.
