THE NEWS

  • Yale has given tenure to significantly more men than women over the past decade, according to data collected by the Women’s Faculty Forum this spring. The WFF found that 29 percent of faculty who received tenure since 2000 and are still at Yale are women, and this percentage rises to 37 percent in the humanities divisions and falls to 19 percent among science departments. While women hold 38 percent of junior faculty positions across the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, according to the data, they hold 23 percent of tenured faculty positions.
  • Set in a darkening 1930s Berlin and rife with references to homosexuality and the Holocaust, the musical “Cabaret” does not shy away from heavy subject matter. For Ethan Karetsky ’14, the director of a new production opening Thursday in the Morse-Stiles Crescent theater, “Cabaret” is above all a show about change. “This is about the darkness that seeps into this show, how a culture is destroyed. It is about watching a society change, and people living in a world that is changing,” Karetsky said. His hope, he said, is to present the show in the most direct way possible.
  • Though current members of the Yale College Council executive board,
    led by President Brandon Levin ’13, do not officially step down from their positions until the end of the year, their work is largely done. So what have they accomplished?
