[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's reassuring that people here don't just take things at face value and can think of reasons why the story OP is trying to tell might not be the only story.

What's your angle, OP? That Princeton is in some sort of trouble? They're doing just fine. [/quote]

There may be other possibilities and so appreciate the alternatives identified, but it does seem to me that Princeton may be in trouble. It appears they are [b]relaxing admissions requirements to serve equity goals, but then plunging kids who may not be fully prepared[/b]into a very rigorous academic environment. That’s exacerbated by the [b]very high percentage of kids who pursue tough STEM, CS, and engineering degrees, and the odd social environment [/b]with its antiquated “Bicker” clubs.  So my hypothesis is that the graduates are less happy about their undergraduate experience and that this translates into a lower percentage of alumni donating after they graduate. [/quote]
Completely contradictory.[/quote]
