THE NEWS
- When Yale’s two new residential colleges are completed, the student body will grow by roughly 800 students. Though the number of tenured and tenure-track professors in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences has hovered around 700 since the 2008 financial downturn, the number dropped to 682 this fall, down from 691 in 2011 and over 700 in 2010, Deputy Provost Lloyd Suttle said in a Sunday email.
- In response to the rapidly changing technological world, the Graduate School has appointed Robin Ladouceur GRD ’04 to serve as an assistant dean overseeing communication. Ladouceur will work to strengthen and streamline communications, said Thomas Pollard, dean of the Graduate of Arts and Sciences. In addition to traditional decanal duties, Ladouceur will oversee all Graduate School communications, including the newsletter, emails and social networking.
- This semester has seen a significant increase in activities offered by the Native American Cultural Center because of a higher involvement from Native American students in the class of 2016. The Native American community is typically one of the smaller cultural groups at Yale, but students and staff have noticed an increase in involvement over the past two years because of the higher number of freshman and sophomore Native American students, said Elizabeth Rule ’13, vice president of the Association of Native Americans at Yale
