THE NEWS

• President-elect Peter Salovey will jet to Singapore next month for meetings with Yale-NUS administrators as he continues to prepare for the University presidency. But when the former provost touches down on the Singaporean campus, the construction site will be a familiar sight. Salovey was one of the initial seven professors and administrators to first visit the campus site in 2009. Because Yale’s next president has been involved throughout its development, administrators interviewed said they do not expect any major changes to the direction of the Singaporean venture after Salovey takes office on June 30.
• Henry Fernandez LAW ’94, the current CEO of consulting firm Fernandez Advisors — a group that provides support for nonprofits and progressive movements nationwide — told the News on Monday that he is running for mayor. Fernandez, a former economic development administrator for the city and the co-founder of LEAP, a youth agency in New Haven, said he has a vision for New Haven as “one city,” and that the Elm City has potential in its diversity, the entrepreneurship of its immigrant communities and its various college campuses.
• Nearly two weeks after an order from the state’s Labor Department halted construction, work has resumed on an Amity branch of Chase Bank, the retail arm of banking giant JP Morgan Chase. The Connecticut Department of Labor halted construction on the branch — which is located no more than 20 feet from the New Haven–Woodbridge town line on Amity Road — when on March 14 it issued a stop-work order to five companies involved in the project. The order came after a tip from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration led to a March 13 investigation of the site that revealed that the five companies could not provide records showing proof of workers’ compensation, suggesting that they were misclassifying their employees as independent contractors.
