The Princeton Progressive, nicknamed The Prog, is a student publication of left-wing politics at Princeton University written and published by students.[1]

The magazine was founded in the early 1980s as The Princeton Progressive Review, inspired by a former socialist publication.[2] A competing liberal[3][4] newspaper, the Idealistic Nation, formed in 2001, published by the Princeton College Democrats.[5] The two publications merged in 2005 and renamed to The Princeton Progressive Nation (PPN) to publish a single progressive magazine, later renamed to The Princeton Progressive and nicknamed The Prog in 2014.[1]

Activities

The Princeton Progressive Review covered the 1995 sit-in protests for Asian American and Latino Studies,[6] and interviewed academics such as Noam Chomsky.[7]

In 2005, Idealistic Nation and the Princeton Progressive Review co-organized the "Frist filibuster" at the Frist Campus Center to protest against the nuclear option as proposed by Senator Bill Frist and in favor of protecting the filibuster in the United States Senate.[8][9] The protest garnered national media attention and spanned more than two weeks,[10] seeing visitors including Representatives Rush Holt Jr. and Frank Pallone and Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek.[11][12][13][14]

In 2008, the PPN staged a protest skit at Frist Campus Center titled "I Could Be John McCain's Econ 101 Teacher," wherein a student lectured another student acting as John McCain on the supply and demand model.[2] The protest was done to urge against voting for McCain in the 2008 United States presidential election.

In January 2009, staff writer Emily Rutherford published an article in the PPN advocating for a gender-neutral housing option at Princeton University.[2][15] Rutherford highlighted that other Ivy League universities had already implemented gender-neutral housing policies.[15] The piece pushed the Princeton Undergraduate Student Government to pursue a policy for a gender-neutral housing option, which ultimately converted some rooms to become gender-neutral in a pilot program in the 2010-2011 academic year.[15][16] Gender-neutral housing expanded in 2017 to include all multiple-occupancy dorm rooms.[16][17]

In December 2011, the PPN took part in the Occupy Wall Street movement by hijacking two recruitment sessions for J.P. Morgan & Co. and Goldman Sachs on campus.[18][19][20][21][2] Twenty protestors infiltrated two information sessions wearing business attire and yelling "Mic check!"[18][21][19] The protestors joined the events by giving the impression that they were interested students, engaging with recruiters; however, during the information sessions, they directed pointed questions at the recruiters during questions-and-answers periods and performed speeches referencing unethical business practices, involvement in inducing the Great Recession while benefiting from the Wall Street bailout of 2008.[18][21][19] At the J.P. Morgan event, protestors walked out after finishing their speech, halving attendance.[21]

The Prog covered the Black Justice League's occupation of Nassau Hall and published the group's statements.[22] It was one of two Princeton publications to provide live coverage of the occupation.[23]

In recent years, The Prog has hosted or co-sponsored events with figures such as anti-war protestor Jimmy Tarlau,[24] women's rights advocate Sally Frank,[25] and social critic and linguist Noam Chomsky.[26] Over this time, the publication has also taken explicitly socialist and anti-capitalist stances.[27][28][29]
