WEST HAVEN, Conn. — Next to the West Campus’ gleaming, brick-and-steel laboratory buildings lies an unadorned warehouse, clad in metal paneling and weathered from many a New England winter. To Yale’s scientists, those gleaming, state-of-the-art research buildings seem like the complex’s biggest prize. But art aficionados may argue otherwise. To them, that...
Few careers include both research on lemurs in Africa and successful negotiation of environmental reform. But Alison Richard — one-time University provost and former Director of the Yale Peabody Museum — has somehow managed all this and more. The Peabody Museum presented Richard with the Addison Amery Verrill Medal for achievement on Wednesday, its highest honor for...
The Bulldog sailors had a busy weekend — and a hard one at that. The Yale men’s and women’s sailing teams split their rosters between four regattas this past weekend, sending squads to the Admiral’s Cup hosted by King’s Point, the Thompson Trophy hosted by Connecticut College, the Southern Series Six hosted by Rhode Island and the New England Women’s...
In a distinct change in position, Peruvian officials announced Wednesday that they are now seeking the prompt return of all the Inca artifacts currently housed at Yale.

It turns out that there is no one way to count Inca artifacts. The Peruvian government announced Sunday that an inventory it conducted of Machu Picchu objects currently housed at Yale found some 40,000 pieces — about 10 times the number Yale had previously announced. But Yale officials said the discrepancy is a matter of mere arithmetic and not a sign of a significant...

After a two-year redevelopment project set to begin next month, the $125-million apartment complex on Chapel and State streets may feature an unexpected surprise for its residents: wind turbines. The once controversial Shartenberg Project — to be built on a 1.5 acre parking lot on the same block where a three-alarm fire caused $10 million in damages last December —...
The University and the government of Peru have agreed to extend negotiations for a second time over the title to a collection of Incan artifacts brought to New Haven nearly a century ago from Machu Picchu by the explorer Hiram Bingham III, Yale officials told the News Sunday. After years of controversy, Yale and Peru announced Sept. 14 that the two parties had agreed to...
Seventy-six days after Yale and Peru established a 60-day timeline for a final agreement on the title to a collection of Incan artifacts from Machu Picchu — brought to New Haven by Yale explorer Hiram Bingham III nearly a century ago — the two parties still have not concluded their negotiations. In a Sept. 14 joint statement, officials from Yale and Peru — who said...
