The key point, which has ALWAYS been the case, is:

"The surveys found that students want to move finals before winter break to reduce stress. Eighty-one percent of undergraduates said that scheduling finals in January made them feel stressed over winter break, and 79 percent said it made them spend less time with family and friends over the break."

That's the reason every other school has moved finals to prior to vacation. Students absolutely hate the Princeton exam schedule, and it's remarkable how Princeton has held onto that schedule even though the Princeton undergraduate student experience is otherwise so positive. The old refrain that "We had to do it and ended up OK" is ridiculous.

And what's worse, it screws up the Ivy basketball schedule by requiring it to go 2 weeks longer than most other smaller mid major conferences. We actually could do a tournament that requires arrangement based on location of the schools playing if we had those two weeks. Well, I hope the change happens.
