THE NEWS

  • A University committee released a revised set of tailgating policies Thursday afternoon in response to the death of one person and injury of two others at November’s Harvard-Yale game. University Vice President and Secretary Linda Lorimer said the committee recognized the popularity of tailgating among students and alumni, but was focused on creating a safer environment in light of last November’s incident.
  • Yale received 5.8 percent more applications for admission this year

    and will likely accept a smaller percentage of candidates in the spring. The number of applications to the Class of 2016 increased to 28,870, up from 27,283 for the Class of 2015. The Office of Admissions expects the number of admitted students to remain about the same as last year’s total of 2,109, which would result in Yale’s lowest admit rate ever — below 7 percent.

  • In this week’s WEEKEND cover story, reporter Caroline Tracey talks to Yale’s Recycler, who, thanks to budget cuts, will soon be out of a job after 20 years at the University.
