Princeton Plans Calendar Rearrangement for Election Participation
Guidance states tax-exempt schools could undermine private support for higher education. Rearranging the academic calendar to allow students and faculty to participate in elections would not count as school participation or prohibited political activity if the recess period replaces another term.
