THE NEWS
- The arrival of Kimberly Goff-Crews ’83 LAW ’86 as vice president for student life next fall will bring much-needed oversight to student affairs, according to graduate and professional school student life administrators. Goff-Crews will chair a new committee of student life administrators in Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the professional schools. Student life adminstrators across the University have collaborated occassionally in the past but have lacked consistent coordination, adminstrators said. Though students’ academic lives differ substantially across Yale’s schools, administrators said they would benefit from a more formal exchange of ideas and practices.
- A rocky 18 months of negotiations preceded the final ratification of a new six-year contract between the University and the Yale Police Department’s union on Oct. 26. The University adopted “hard bargaining and high pressure tactics designed to force settlement” when negotiating with the Yale Police Benevolent Association (YPBA), alleged Rich Simons, the union’s president, in a November statement to the News. But University spokesman Tom Conroy said the YPBA ratified an “excellent contract” without the need for outside assistance or interruption in department operations, indicating that the negotiation process was successful.
