Students of the Princeton University School of Architecture have published a letter advocating for widespread changes to how the school operates in order to pursue an anti-racist agenda. 

The open letter, published as an Op-Ed in The Daily Princetonian, offers a nine point plan for beginning to move the institution in the right direction. The letter, which is signed by over 80 current students and nearly 200 alumni, seeks to have the university divest from campus policing initiatives, recruit Black students, faculty, and speakers, provide administrative and financial support for Black students, center Black voices in the school's curriculum, "dismantle white supremacy in studio," ban inequitable labor practices at the school, implement anti-racism training for professors, staff, and students, deepen university and community relationships with the Black community, all the while pursuing these goals with a focus on transparency and accountability.

Among the specific changes the students would like to see are new BIPOC faculty added to the school's History and Theory department, the creation of a Visiting Practitioner Fellowship that supports the work of Black architects, "expand opportunities for Black, as well as non-Black POC, students within the school through the creation of named scholarships and grants," "correctly designate Design Seminars foregrounding issues of race as History and Theory courses in their own right," and "work in consultation with the working group to establish a code of ethics for studio-based research that includes strategies and protocols for working in BIPOC communities," in addition to other fundamental changes. 

The letter comes after a statement issued by Princeton SoA Dean Monica Ponce de Leon proposing initial changes to the school's setup to begin to address racial justice issues. Students at Harvard GSD, Columbia GSAPP, and Yale SoA, among others, have issued public calls for change, as well.
