Princeton University, one of the world’s most selective schools, is considering what would be the second significant expansion of its undergraduate enrollment since the turn of the century. Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber, who took office in July 2013, said Tuesday the Ivy League university in New Jersey is examining whether to launch another round of growth several years after its undergraduate population rose more than 10 percent. “I am inclined to do this,” Eisgruber said during a visit to The Washington Post on Tuesday. “I think it’s important.” He said no decisions have been made. But he cited expansion plans at Yale and Stanford, two of Princeton’s peers, saying that elite private institutions can grow without sacrificing quality.
