THE NEWS

  • When students returned to campus this August, they were greeted once again by the sight of Payne Whitney Gymnasium shrouded in blue scaffolding.
     The University began renovations on Payne Whitney’s exterior in 2007, suspending the project in 2008 due to budget cuts in capital maintenance projects following the recession, said Stephen Brown, the director of administration and space planning at the University Planning Office in a Wednesday email. What’s next for the renovation?
  • As the Yale Law School prepares to venture into uncharted territory by enrolling Ph.D. students next fall, scholars nationwide are unsure that the school’s new doctoral program will ultimately benefit legal education.

    The three-year degree Ph.D. program, the first of its kind, is designed to give J.D. graduates an opportunity to broaden their portfolio of scholarly work while learning to teach, Law School Dean Robert Post said. Law School administrators said the program will not only prepare aspiring law professors for an increasingly competitive job market but will also affirm the law’s status as an academic discipline.

  • It’s finally here. Shake Shack has hit New Haven, and students across the University are celebrating. Find out more about the restaurant’s new digs on the Green in tomorrow’s News.
