Reducing construction waste, and, in this case, discarded parts from temporary exhibitions is both a goal and reality of the aftermath of each show at the School of Architecture Gallery.
Last week’s shallow review of the new Rosenkranz Hall disappointed and frustrated me (“New building does not fit in,” Oct. 23). The building sits comfortably in a graceless site along Prospect Street.
My colleagues on the Yale Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility and I read with great interest the article by guest columnists Anna Robinson-Sweet, Luke Studebaker and Mac Herring regarding the conversations last year between the ACIR and the Undergraduate Organizing Committee regarding the labor practices at HEI Hospitality LLC (“Irresponsible investing,” Oct....
Did Yale College Dean Mary Miller seriously think that her column Friday (“An open letter regarding disciplinary procedures,” Oct. 23) would help stem criticism of her and the University surrounding recent disciplinary measures (or lack thereof)? Could she really have thought that this was the fairest, most effective way to address us students? And did the News think it...
I was interested and challenged by Isabel Marin’s column raising concerns about gender-neutral housing (“A question of comfort,” Oct. 20).
With funding pulled, Cinema at the Whitney has collapsed. As a former staff member and audience member of CATW, I was unhappy with its demise.
Re: “Still no action on e-mail” and “Masters, deans pan bladderball” (Oct. 14).
The News is to be congratulated for its editorial regarding the high stone wall of the Grove Street Cemetery along Prospect Street (“Tear down this wall,” Oct. 14).
Yesterday, Serrena Iyer addressed a letter to Sweden in the News (“What did Obama do?” Oct. 13).
My daughter, who recently graduated from Yale College, never saw a thrilling bladderball spectacular during her years.
Re: “In city schools, looks can be deceiving” (Oct. 6): As Assistant Superintendent Garth Harries pointed out during the discussion panel hosted by the Yale Democrats last Wednesday, “Education Reform in New Haven: The Next Phase,” the excellent physical condition of New Haven’s public schools testifies to the community’s investment in the education it provides to its...
The recent column criticizing Alan Dershowitz’s talk on campus sends a dangerous message about the integrity of debate at Yale (“Just rude or talking truth?” Oct. 9).
Re: “Just rude or talking truth?” (Oct. 9): In commenting on my question-and-answer period following the showing of “The Case for Israel” at Yale on Wednesday night, both writers failed to describe the unusual format. Those who attended the event can attest to the fact that because of the controversial and emotional nature of the Israel Palestine conflict, I requested...
One of the most noticeable aspects of this cemetery is its quietness; it is a contemplative space in the middle of a busy city. With the wall breached, the sounds of Prospect Street would flood the cemetery, destroying its unique aural environment.
Kronman writes that the University and its Press are “distinct.” This is undoubtedly true, but it obscures the larger point: Yale owns, operates, and controls the Press, which is nothing more than a constituent part of the larger University.
There is a fundamental difference between a political cartoon and a cartoon lampooning religious symbols. Politicians, no matter how much we respect them, are not held sacred by any sections of our society.
The purpose of our letter is not to rehash the discussion about Westegaard and free speech that we’ve now seen many times over. Rather, it is to express shock at the complete lack of professionalism on the part of the authors.
Although we recognize that a single faculty member may have the right to invite anyone he chooses to speak on campus, we find Branford College Master Steven Smith’s hosting of the controversial Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard highly exasperating, given the significant efforts by the University to make the campus a place that truly welcomes and embraces those of every...
Re: “A post-modern Muhammad and me” (Sept. 25). I am a Yale graduate, a journalist and an Emirati, and I found Eden’s essay to be one of the more irresponsible and misguided pieces of writing I’ve read on the topic of Emirati culture. It was unjust, even for an opinion piece, and especially for a Yale publication.
I commend the News for its in-depth investigation of the 2007 immigration raids in Fair Haven (“A safe haven, raided,” Sept. 28, and “The unmaking of a haven,” Sept. 29). The pieces offered a thorough description of the event, including police records and interviews with “more than 50 people,” including folks who were arrested.
