Despite barriers, ‘bubble’ remains artificial
My hope is that Yale students will take a harder look in the future at Yale’s external relations: Where is Yale’s money going? What is the status of Yale’s labor relations? Is Yale really, as it claims in the advertisements, “contributing to a strong New Haven”? And finally, are you comfortable with what Yale is doing beyond these walls?

We cannot erase the condemnable parts of our history but the choice is ours to confront the past head-on and cultivate racial and economic justice in the present.
Incidents spark doubt about safety of Tasers
New Haven should look for alternative ways of reducing police violence. The introduction of Tasers is likely to do the opposite.

The story raised the question of why more students don’t seem to want to be involved in activism. The perplexing suggestion of this article is that the problem lies with some flaw in the activists themselves and their methods.
Constitutional crises put republic in danger
It is well understood these days that things are not going well in this country. What is perhaps rarely stated, and what became clear to me at the conference, is the depth of the crisis. The crimes of the current administration threaten the ideals of the Constitution itself.
