Yale Daily News

I am still waiting for the YDN to report on when Shvarts and her advisors will appear before the Executive Committee. Surely this matter is sufficiently important to take a few hours of Ex Comm's time, especially considering the relative importance of other matters that they have been deliberating recently?

Pathetic. After causing all the strife, making all those statements in her editorial, she is revealed as not believing enough in her own strident babble to stand behind it. Empty posturing by a someone ultimately showing herself a coward.

Come on all, say what you will about the project, but let's stop bashing the Art major (see comments from original article on Shvarts). It's just like any other major in which students have the discretion to put in as much or as little work as they want. If they choose (and have the proper credentials, prerequisites, and determination), art majors are just as capable of succeeding in professions like law/medicine/education/business as economics or biochemistry majors.

It is really sad that Yale has crushed Aliza Shvart's freedom of speech, but yet protected the hate speech of frat boys. This is really making the sexism embedded in Yale's power structure very transparent.

well, she did spend 8 months on the other, so let's cut her some slack

So she came up with and finished a senior project in eight days? Makes me feel good to have been working on mine for eight months. Then again, her degree will be in Art, so I guess we will be even.

I'd like to know too, re: Shvarts. However, the Executive Committee only has jurisdiction over students in Yale College, so her advisors would have to be disciplined through another procedure.

I don't really think that Shvarts should be punished by Ex Comm. I am pro-life and I believe that it is completely outrageous that abortions at will are offered at DUH and encouraged at Yale generally (and hopefully the Schvarts fiasco will cause the administration to reconsider this), but given that abortions are permitted at Yale there is really no ground to punish Schvarts.

Is there any chance that Schvarts is in fact pro-life and the entire thing is a fraud (albeit a well-intentioned fraud) intended to denounce the culture of death among the American Left-wing? I guess since she is an art major and they are all ultra-left, probably not...

Good to know it only takes ten days to come up with, create, and submit a senior art project.

EIGHT DAYS TO COME UP WITH A SENIOR THESIS? Completely unfair Yale!

Can you tell me why in the world she would be excommed? She got authorization from officials and she did NOTHING ILLEGAL!!! on what grounds would she be excommed? get some sense.

Peter: how was her speech "crushed?"

So far as we know, she faced...nothing.

Whereas the fraternity pledges faced ExComm and were found, appropriately, not guilty.

[ed. note: how appropriate! My "captcha" phrase is "recent mense"]

Seems like it's not difficult to come up with a senior project.
