Princeton University is opposing two New Jersey Senate bills introduced in 2024 that target legacy admissions and define antisemitism and Islamophobia.

The university argues that both measures could harm free speech and limit its admissions flexibility, with ongoing debates surrounding fairness and academic freedom, as reported by The Daily Princetonian.
