THE NEWS

  • Nearly two months after the fatal Nov. 19 U-Haul incident at the Harvard-Yale tailgate outside the Yale Bowl, police have yet to complete their forensics investigation. It is not usual for crash investigations to take months to complete, said three personal injury lawyers who handle cases involving truck accidents, and in cases like this one — in which a U-Haul driven by Brendan Ross ’13 ran over three people, killing 30-year old Nancy Barry of Salem, Mass. — media scrutiny encourages police investigators to be more cautious than usual
  • Yale’s interdisciplinary major in environmental studies has doubled in size over the past few years,

    and the program is expanding and diversifying its course offerings to meet increased student interest. While 15 seniors graduated with environmental studies degrees in 2010, this year’s graduating class will have 30, and there are another 31 majors in the class of 2013, according to data from Environmental Studies Chair John Wargo.

  • This week’s WEEKEND cover story investigates the CIA and Yale: the history, the inherent contradiction between the liberal arts and government service, the changing relationship in the 21st century. Ava Kofman reports.
