THE NEWS

• Yale is preparing for the worst, but until Tuesday, its detailed plans and procedures were accessible to over 40,000 people. The University’s Emergency Operations Team has developed an extensive plan and operations protocol for every potential disaster that could strike the campus, meticulously assessing the risks of explosive devices, shooting rampages and attacks on visiting VIPs. Until Tuesday, documents marked “confidential” that contained evacuation plans and instructions for operating the emergency notification system were accessible to anyone in the Yale NetID system. University Information Security Officer Morrow Long said this comprises over 40,000 individuals, and is subject to regular security breaches.
• Starting this spring, central New Haven will be a food desert no more, as chain grocer Stop and Shop announced plans Tuesday to move into the Whalley Avenue space once occupied by Shaw’s.
• Last semester, Yale’s dining halls played host to 87,000 pounds of chicken and 190,000 bananas. Yale Dining relies on a complex automated system to place massive food orders from a bank of 5,000 ingredients weeks before a dish is due to be served. Menus are in the works for months before they hit dining halls, as a committee plans six-week cycles of meals before the start of the semester.
