Princeton Students Disappointed About Marshawn Lynch As Class Speaker

“As seniors, we had been looking forward to the speaker announcement for months. Many of us were disappointed when we saw that this year’s speaker was to be Marshawn Lynch, mainly because we did not feel included in the process by which this speaker was nominated and finally selected.” 

This letter includes a plea for revisions to be made to the Class Speaker selection process.

In addition, The op-ed believes that the selection committee’s failure to mention Lynch’s multiple issues with the media, as well as his prior offenses with the NFL has led to him being fined for not speaking with reporters “caused confusion over the set of criteria that led to his nomination.”
