This is all getting a bit predictable, isn’t it?

Princeton faculty petition supports campus Black Justice League protesters

Fifty-four members of Princeton University’s faculty have signed a petition supporting the college’s so-called “Black Justice League,” noting that “[black students] all too often find themselves on the margins of this University.”

The petition was drafted by a dozen members of the African American Studies department and sent off to President Christopher Eisgruber, Dean Jill Dolan, and members of the University Board of Trustees.

Perhaps notable is that the faculty signatures “come from a number of departments and programs across the arts and humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.”

However, “no faculty member from the School of Engineering and Applied Science or the School of Architecture signed the letter,” the Daily Princetonian reports.

The letter states, in part, that

Our students are no longer quiet. They have forced all of us to confront the urgency of the moment. Princeton’s deliberate pace at reform often presupposes the sacrifice of those who must endure until we actually change. It’s a costly wager. These students refuse to wait. They have forced the conversation and now we must act. We stand with them as they struggle with the racist legacy of Woodrow Wilson and its impact on this campus. We stand with them as they work to make Princeton a more inclusive community. And we stand with them as they seek an education that is consonant with the vast diversity of our nation and this world.

We believe we have an opportunity to model something for the nation as we stand with our students. We urge you to seize this opportunity. We urge you to see and hear them.  As they chanted:

We here
We been here
We ain’t leaving.

The D.P. notes that Robert George, a politics professor, had his name added to the petition without his consent.
