THE NEWS

• The current student body is the most vibrantly diverse in Yale’s history. Last year, roughly 40 percent of incoming freshmen intended to major in science, technology, engineering or mathematics fields — satisfying the Yale Admissions Office’s target percentage for the first time — and a record-breaking 40 percent of American freshmen identified as minorities. But, inevitably, diversity has come with a steep cost. Amy Wang takes a close look at diversity at Yale in tomorrow’s News.
• On March 4, a district court dismissed allegations of racial and gender discrimination at the School of Medicine from former employee Anthony Craig, who was terminated less than a year into his residency. Craig, who is African-American, was hired on a one-year contract with Yale New Haven Hospital’s Obstetrics and Gynecology residency program in July 2008 and permanently dismissed in April 2009 for poor performance and lack of improvement. In his suit, Craig claimed that an unidentified physician called him “boy” three times in a 30-minute shift, that he felt uncomfortable socializing in the work environment and that Shaw told him he was being “held to a lower standard” than other physicians. The claims were rejected by a Connecticut district court, but Martyn Philpot, Craig’s attorney, said Craig’s complaint has since been filed in state court.
• The Board of Alderman received a proposal on Monday to transfer the historic Shubert Theatre from city ownership to a new, not-for-profit management body. The proposed new owner — the Connecticut Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA) — has been running the theatre since 2001. Shubert Theatre administrators hope that an ownership switch will help the theatre fund a much needed renovation. In order for the proposal to be finalized, the Board of Alderman must reach a majority vote in favor of the change.
