THE NEWS
- In a controversial proposal published in Slate Magazine last November, Yale Law School professors Akhil Amar ’80 LAW ’84and Ian Ayres call for law schools to offer to pay off part of their first-years’ loans should these students realize that their prospects of successful legal careers are slim.

- A new book published in December highlights the dialogue between architects and developers in the context of Brazil’s booming economy. “Urban Intersections: São Paulo” is the sixth book in a series that showcases the designs by students at the School of Architecture created for a spring semester studio co-taught every year by a practicing architect and a visiting player in the real estate industry.
- The first 25 head coaches of Yale football were alumni of the team. Each had a winning record.
