Yep, Princeton University decided to allocate scholarships to juniors and seniors who wanted to join the famous independent eating clubs. Their cost is about $2,000 more than the cafeteria, but allow students to partake in social activities. The goal is to increase the diversity of the eating clubs.

Ivy Hall, one of the campuses oldest eating clubs, only allowed its first female members in 1991, after a US Supreme court ruling (refusing to review a NJ Supreme Court ruling that all-male membership violated state civil rights laws).
Oh and here's another glorious moment for the Ivy Club.
