THE NEWS

  • A crowd of students, union workers and community activists — together over one thousand strong — flooded parts of the Yale campus and downtown New Haven in a call for University and city officials to provide more youth opportunities and union jobs. The event, termed the “Let’s Get to Work” march and rally, was jointly organized by the undergraduate community advocacy group Students Unite Now, the Local 34 and Local 35 unions that represent University technical, clerical and dining hall employees, the Graduate Employees Student Organization, and the nonprofit progressive advocacy group Connecticut Center for a New Economy.
  • The first computer virus to affect Mac operating systems has spread to Yale’s campus after infecting over 600,000 computers across the world.

    Roughly 50 students have reported to Information Technology Services that their computers have the Flashback virus, which can go undetected while stealing the personal information such as passwords and credit card information saved in files, said Adam Bray, assistant manager for Student Technology Collaborative.

  • The search for University Vice President for Development Inge Reichenbach’s successor will finish in roughly two weeks, University President Richard Levin said Wednesday. Reichenbach announced in November, five months after the six-year, $3.88 billion Yale Tomorrow fundraising campaign concluded, that she would step down at the end of the academic year. At the time, Levin said the search for Reichenbach’s successor would be conducted “nationwide” and would consider candidates from both inside and outside Yale. Levin said the University is close to making a hiring decision
