-“All requests for new permanent and term positions and hires, including those filling open vacancies, will be approved on an exceptional basis only—and the bar will be high”
-“We will not be able to guarantee support for all of [the temporary, hourly, casual, and contracted positions working across campus] over the long term”
“We are asking all managers to look for ways to better leverage existing staff...this may require some of you to take on new tasks and functions for the time being”
-"Each one of us can make a difference when it comes to spending. If you see areas where we can save, please raise them to your manager."
- "Economic conditions have been fundamentally altered in a matter of weeks, and universities across the country are having to reassess every aspect of their operations."
- "Princeton is not immune from these challenges, and we will have to make some hard choices in the weeks and months ahead."
