Princeton celebrates Independence DayBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Princeton residents celebratedpatriotism for two days last week,with fireworks on the PrincetonUniversity campus on July 3, anda family event at Princeton Bat-tlefield State Park on July 4.

Several thousand peoplepacked the universitys athleticfields on July 3, and spread blan-kets despite the wet grass. MarkFreda, president of The Spirit ofPrinceton, the organization thathosts the fireworks, was happywith the turnout.

Tonight is good, Freda said.The rain ended early, and literal-ly 15 minutes after the rainstopped, the crowd started show-ing up.

The fireworks display was de-signed and lit by Garden StateFireworks, a company that hashandled Princetons Independ-ence Day fireworks since 1998.Freda said the company offersmore bang for your buck.

All told, were spending

around $17,000 to $18,000 to dothis, Freda said. And thats allout of an endowment we have setup that is rapidly shrinking. Infive or six years, well be out ofmoney, so our biggest challenge isgetting people to understand thatall our free events will stop if wecant find a way to raise signifi-

Lawsuit challenges PUs tax-exempt statusBy KATIE MORGAN

The Princeton SunPrinceton University could

lose its tax-exempt status in acase that is currently before stateTax Judge Vito Bianco. The law-suit, brought against the univer-sity by Princeton residentsEleanor Lewis, Kenneth Fields,Mary Ellen Merino, Joseph Kingand Kathryn King, claims theuniversity violates its tax-exempt,non-profit status by profitingfrom royalties and commercial

ventures.Public interest lawyer Bruce

Afran is representing the plain-tiffs. Afran cited profitable uni-versity-owned restaurants thatare open to the public, as well asticket sales from McCarter The-atre and patents the universityhas licensed.

These ventures are intention-ally designed to make a profit,and those profits are shared withfaculty, Afran said. Even if theydo take that money and put itright back into their educationalmission, that has nothing to dowith their tax-exempt status.When an organization sharesprofits, it loses tax-exempt status.We say they dont have any tax-ex-empt status because they engagein commercial conduct that is de-signed to bring in a profit.

According to the annual report

of the universitys research de-partment, the school made $127million from patent licensing in2012. The university has also dis-tributed $118.5 million in royaltyprofits to faculty since 2005, andcollects about $250 million fromthe federal government each yearfor research.

As a recent example of the uni-versitys commercial ventures,Afran points to a licensing agree-ment with major pharmaceuticalcompany Eli Lilly & Co. for thecancer drug Alimta.

In 2009, the university joinedEli Lilly & Co. in a lawsuit againstIsraeli company Teva Pharma-ceutical Industries to preventthem from manufacturing ageneric version of the drug.

If they wanted to spread thisknowledge and this medicine,then it should be in the public do-

main, Afran said.Jonas Salk put the polio vac-

cine in the public domain andmade a huge profit. Instead,Princeton University has chosento commercialize, and sell itspatent to one monopoly. Instead ofspreading this to the world,theyre trying to keep it at a high

price by licensing to one manu-facturer.

The lawsuit argues that theuniversity has been violating itstax-exempt status since it startedsharing profits with faculty in2005, and Afran said this maymean the university is responsi-ble for back taxes to the munici-pality.

Our position is ultimatelygoing to be that they were entitledto no exemption for any of thoseyears, Afran said. So they real-ly owe possibly $180 million to the

town about $30 million for eachyear of those six years.

Afran said if the universitywere to lose its tax-exempt status,it would be responsible for be-tween $30 million to $40 million intax dollars every year.

The people in Princeton prob-ably pay about 30 percent more in

taxes than people in surroundingtowns, Afran said. And thatsbecause of the university. Its anenormous amount of money andit would significantly decreasepeoples taxes.

Princeton University officialshad not returned a request forcomment at time of printing.

Afran anticipated that the trialwould begin within 10 months.He said the outcome of the casewill set a precedent for collegetowns across the country.

This is a major deal, Afran

said. All the large universitieswork the same way Princetondoes. They license patents andshare profits. This is a very im-portant case for all non-profits.People are watching this case,and for good reason. The decisionhere will reverberate around thecountry.

Should religious institutions receive taxpayer funding?

By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

The state Assembly passed aresolution on June 27 urging theChristie administration to notdistribute taxpayer money to thePrinceton Theological Seminaryuntil a court determines that the

grant is legal.Sponsored by Assembly Speak-

er Sheila Oliver (D-Essex/Passa-ic), the resolution was sparked byconcerns surrounding the HigherEducation Technology Infra-structure Fund Act, approved byvoters last year. Institutions ap-plied for individual grants, and inApril, the state secretary of High-er Education submitted a list ofprojects and grant amounts to theLegislature.

The list includes three projects

for PTS that total $645,323.Those grants, and another to

Beth Medrash Govoha, a Lake-wood Township yeshiva, are cur-rently subject to a lawsuit filed bythe American Civil Liberties

Union over whether religious in-stitutions are eligible to receivethe taxpayer funding.

When New Jersey voters ap-proved this money, they rightlyexpected that grants would beawarded only to institutions thatare constitutionally eligible to re-ceive public funds, Oliver said in

a statement. Given the impor-tant interest of preserving theNew Jersey constitution's princi-ples and the provisions of our lawagainst discrimination, no grantsto the institutions in questionshould be disbursed until a courthas rendered its finding. Taxpay-ers deserve that consideration.

Princeton Theological Semi-nary is a Presbyterian Christianseminary that offers programs indivinity, Christian education, the-ology, and ministry and social

work. According to the schoolsmission statement, PrincetonTheological Seminary prepareswomen and men to serve JesusChrist in ministries marked byfaith, integrity, scholarship, com-

petence, compassion and joy,equipping them for leadershipworldwide in congregations andthe larger church, in classroomsand the academy, and in the pub-lic arena.

Members of the public and thestate Assembly worried that dis-tributing taxpayer money to the

Seminary was a disregard for theseparation of church and state.

These grants are subject tochallenge as a violation of theseparation of church and state,and as long as that dispute re-mains, this money should not bedisbursed, Ruben Ramos (D-Hudson) said. Both the lack oftransparency in how these grantswere awarded and the unan-swered concerns regarding theconstitutionality of the grantawards raise serious questions

about the integrity of the grantprocess.

Beth Medreash Govoha is in-cluded in both the Assembly reso-lution and the ACLU lawsuit, as itis also a religious institution, and

has a completely male faculty andstudent population.

Taxpayer money should notgo toward religious instruction,nor should it be used to promotestudies that exclude women,Connie Wagner (D-Bergen) said.The process needs to be ques-tioned, and this money should not

be spent until the court has madeits ruling. Clearly, this moneycould be spent more wisely.

The state office of Higher Edu-cation and Princeton TheologicalSeminary both declined to com-ment on the matter.

The ACLU lawsuit, filed onJune 24, remains in SuperiorCourt in Trenton.

We support freedom of reli-gion; however the governmenthas no business funding religiousministries, Ed Barocas, legal di-

rector of the ACLU of New Jer-sey, said in a statement. Taxpay-ers should not foot the bill to trainclergy or provide religious in-struction, but the state is attempt-ing to do exactly that.

Assembly urges Christie to not give money to Princeton Theological Seminary

By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

The Crisis Ministry of MercerCounty, Inc., a non-profit organi-zation founded in 1980 by NassauPresbyterian Church and TrinityChurch Princeton, serves morethan 5,000 Mercer County house-holds each year from its Prince-ton and Trenton locations.

The Crisis Ministry offers a

large food pantry, housing stabili-ty and homelessness preventionservices.

On Dec. 16, 2011, a fire devastat-ed the Crisis Ministrys Trentonlocation.

The fire broke out in thepantry, Sarah Unger, communi-cations and development director,said. It was determined to beelectrical in nature, but there wasnot a more specific determina-

tion. Well probably never reallyknow 100 percent what hap-pened.

The Crisis Ministry moved itsTrenton operations to a nearbybuilding where it set up tempo-rary offices and a pantry.

Now, more than a year and halflater, the Crisis Ministry ispreparing to move back into itsoriginal Trenton building, aftercommunity members and local

corporations stepped in to coverthe renovation.

We derive the funding from anumber of sources, Unger said.It comes from private founda-tions, corporate philanthropy andfrom individuals. We also dependon our founding congregations inPrinceton. They provide consid-erable support.

One Mercer County-based cor-poration, Janssen Pharmaceuti-cals, awarded the Crisis Ministrya general operating grant of

$15,000 for this year, and employ-ees recently spent a volunteer daystocking shelves and helping staffmembers prepare to move backinto the Trenton building.

Our hope and its alwaysabout hope with us is that wewill be moved back in by the endof the summer, Unger said.Were extremely grateful toeveryone that has helped and con-tributed to the renovation so far.

The final cost of the renovation

has not yet been determined.The Crisis Ministrys Prince-ton location, housed in NassauPresbyterian Church, serves be-tween 150 and 200 householdseach year.

We were recently able to moveinto a larger space within NassauPresbyterian built specifically forus, Unger said. The church pro-vides it to us in kind and if youthink about what rent would be ifthey didnt, in the heart of down-town Princeton, that in itself isenormous.

The Crisis Ministry providescounseling and assistance forpeople who fall behind in paying

their bills, or are in danger ofeviction.

I think people are starting tounderstand more and more thatthe high cost of living in Prince-ton makes it difficult for people tomake ends meet and still liveclose to where they work, Ungersaid. We offer a case manage-ment program for families withcomplex needs, and we offer utili-ties back payments. We also pro-vide additional guidance on hous-ing.

Families and individuals canalso gain access to the foodpantries at the Trenton andPrinceton locations, where theyshop for groceries using a systemof points to ensure theyre mak-ing balanced, healthy choices.

A family can come to ourpantry one time per month inTrenton, or up to two times permonth in Princeton, Unger said.It averages out per householdthat theyll make three to four vis-

its per year. That says to us thatits not a chronic problem, butmore intermittent. Were part ofthe safety net for people who aresometimes unable to make endsmeet.

For once, New Jersey should get

some positive national atten-

tion. Last week, the state made

two major moves in a public higher ed-

ucation reorganization in an attempt

to put New Jersey colleges on the na-

tional map.

Rutgers University added two newmedical schools, immediately jumping

the school into the top 25 in the coun-

try for research funding. Gov. Christie

said it puts Rutgers on the path to

being one of Americas great research

institutions.

Rowan University also became a re-

search university through the reor-

ganization, giving New Jersey a solidfoothold of attractive public colleges

in the southern part of the state.

New Jersey is the 11th most popu-

lous state, with 8.8 million people, as of

July 1, 2012, despite being the fourthsmallest state in terms of size. Howev-

er, due to a lack of major public uni-

versities, many of the Garden States

college students were traveling to

neighboring states for higher educa-

tion.

Penn State University, Temple Uni-

versity, the University of Delaware,

the State University of New York, theUniversity of Maryland and the Uni-

versity of Connecticut are all popular

public school choices for New Jersey

students.

Over the last 10 years, Rutgers and

Rowan have made great strides in

keeping students in our home state,

and last weeks moves only further

that aim. We must continue to im-

prove our public universities, in addi-

tion to focusing on our local K-12 pub-

lic school districts.If we keep our home-grown stu-

dents in state for public higher educa-

tion, then were all able to reap the re-

wards. If were able to go even further,

well be able to attract outside talent,

and become part of the list of dream

colleges for out-of-state students.

New Jersey is filled with promising

students and bright minds ready to be-come world leaders.

Lets continue to foster that intelli-

gence, that drive and that desire right

here in New Jersey.

Producing more home-grown talentImprovements at Rutgers, Rowan may keep students in-state for college

Renovating Valley Road School

wont cost taxpayers a dimeWe appreciate the interest that The Sun

has taken in our proposal to adaptivelyreuse historic Valley Road School. You areabsolutely correct that Preservation NewJersey has named the building as one ofthe 10 Most Endangered Historic Places inNew Jersey.

You are also correct that Valley RoadSchool Community Center Inc. would liketo renovate and repurpose the building asa community center for nonprofits. How-ever, we are not looking for any municipal

funds in financing the renovation or oper-ating the building no taxpayer funds. Infact, we will be saving taxpayer money thatotherwise would be required to demolishthe building, an estimated $350,000 $450,000.

We have had strong indications frommembers of the community that there is

considerable interest in financing thiswork using private donations.We also have had considerable interest

by Valley Road School alumni, many ofwhom live outside of Princeton.

We also intend to seek support from thecommunity that supports each of the non-profits that has expressed an interest incoming to Valley Road School.

Donating to a cause is a personal deci-sion. What we are hearing is that convert-ing Valley Road School to a nonprofit com-munity center has caught the imaginationof many potential donors.

We also will be seeking funds from in-vestor partnerships. One prospective ten-ant has already expressed interest in beingan investor partner. Another partnershipwe have been exploring is with a powercompany that specializes in investing in

solar panels to produce power that is sentback to the grid, and who might also par-

ticipate financially in the replacement ofVRSs leaky roof.Finally, another possibility is funds from

the Economic Development Authority,which has recently financed projects fornonprofits similar to ours.

We also plan to have exhibits in thebuilding that illustrate the history that Val-ley Road School has presided over and thatwill interest potential donors.

Images that illustrate VRS as the first re-gional school and the first integratedschool.

Images that honor the rich heritage of

Italian masons who constructed majorPrinceton buildings, including VRS. Im-ages of teachers who were responsible forinnovations in science, math and creative

writing in the 40s, 50s and 60s thatmade VRS a leading public schoolwith a national reputation. Andthen images of the parents whosechildren attended Valley RoadSchool, who were the scientistsand mathematicians who devel-oped some of the leading technol-ogy of the century everythingfrom the color television to LEDsto high definition TV, and to opin-

ion research and scholastic apti-tude tests.Now, setting aside the history

that Valley Road School repre-

sents, and its obvious potential asa green, recycled building, adap-tively reusing Valley Road Schoolmeets a major need in Princeton

for reasonably priced rental spacein a highly accessible location.Many nonprofits serving Prince-ton have inadequate space. Oth-ers have been unable to find spaceat all in Princeton and have hadto locate elsewhere.

We have developed a detailedanalysis of the cost of runningthe building based on actual utili-ty bills and on quotes for insur-ance and other required servicesand have developed a rental rate

that will cover all expenses, in-cluding developing a fund for fu-ture repair.

We have been approached by a

number of nonprofits interestedin renting space in Valley RoadSchool.

We plan to convert the old cafe-

teria and the auditorium to blackbox theaters, which has generat-ed major interest by theater or-ganizations willing to pay rent forthese spaces.

So far, well more than 1,000 reg-istered voters have expressed adesire to see saving old ValleyRoad School placed on the ballot.We hope that everyone will mailback their petitions if theyhavent already. Any questionsplease send them to info@saveval-

cant funds again. You figure withseveral thousand people sittinghere to watch fireworks, if every-body chipped in $10, it wouldmake a huge difference.

On July 4, families flocked toPrinceton Battlefield State Park,where re-enactors in 18th centurycostumes demonstrated Revolu-tionary War appliances, weapon-ry and games. Attendees heard atalk on the Battle of Princetonand a reading of the Declarationof Independence. In addition, theThomas Clarke House and muse-um was open, and visitors werewelcomed inside to explore therooms of the historic home.

Curator John Mills said he feltthe battlefield was a perfect placeto spend the 4th of July.

Its Independence Day, Millssaid. And this is where we fought

for our independence. Standingon the same ground as these menon the anniversary of the day

they were fighting for now thatsreally something special.

Mills answered visitors ques-tions about the Clarke House andthe battle. A picnic lunch fol-lowed, as well as a demonstrationof a cannon crew during the bat-tle.

The future of a section of thebattlefield owned by the Institutefor Advanced Studies remains inquestion, as the Princeton Battle-field Society continues to appealthe Institutes right to buildhomes on it.

Judge Mary Jacobson ruled inMercer County Superior Courtlast month that the PrincetonPlanning Boards 2012 approval ofthe 15-home project would stand.The Battlefield Society plans tofile a new appeal this month.

This section of the battlefield,Maxwell Field, is incredibly sig-nificant historically, Jerald Hur-

witz, Battlefield Society presi-dent, said. Obviously, we werepretty disappointed by the judges

decision. We had higher expecta-tions based on the commentsmade and the historical signifi-cance of the area, but thats theluck of the draw.

Hurwitz said new informationabout the Battle of Princeton isconstantly being discovered, andthat Maxwell Field may havebeen the location of a very impor-tant counterstrike during thefighting.

The new case will go to appel-late court, where it will be heardby a panel of three judges.

Were hoping that havingthree judges will change things,Hurwitz said. I think theres cer-tainly a greater opportunity forthat to happen. I think were dis-appointed, but we are certainlynot dissuaded from continuing topursue our efforts to saveMaxwell Field from develop-ment.
