Yale should not appeal FOIC ruling
The Freedom of Information Commission’s Wednesday ruling that the Yale Police Department’s records should be subject to public scrutiny is requisite step forward for any university that purports to value transparency and accountability.
As one of the only bodies at Yale that can, with the click of handcuffs or the bang of a bullet, change a student, city resident’s or community’s future, its records must be as open as those of any public force in Connecticut.
