Princeton University students are mounting a protest against a performance by rapper Big Sean, who is scheduled to headline "Lawn Parties," an outdoor festival on campus in the Spring, citing the musician for "promoting rape culture and misogyny."
In a petition that asks the school's student government to rescind the invitation to the artist, junior Duncan Hosie and senior Rebecca Balsadua write, "in the future, [the undergraduate student government] should strive to bring non-misogynistic acts to campus." Hosie and Balsadua told the Daily Princetonian that close to 500 people have signed the petition.
