No matter the millions it may cost, on expansion, the administrators and Yale Corporation members agree: If you’re going to do it, do it right.

The issue isn't about "making the area more appealing", it is the distance introduced between places when you construct new colleges there. It will now be a mile walk from Pierson to the new colleges. That will completely destroy what the Yale experience is all about. Yale will cease being the most selective university in the country. Unfortunately, the planners aren't students and don't realize what it means to participate in undergraduate (and faculty) life at Yale.

Members of the Yale Corporation arrive Friday at Woodbridge Hall with Yale College Dean Peter Salovey. The Corporation is known for operating in secrecy.
