JALALI: Treat international students as you’d want to be treated

To my fellow members of the Yale community, I offer these reflections not as criticism but as an invitation to reciprocity.

HANNON: After Francis

Pope Francis’s death, for me, is more than political. It is a question of whether anything can really change and stay changed.

HAMAMA: Shabtai, don’t platform terrorism supporters

Imagine a Yale-affiliated organization inviting a white supremacist speaker who, for years, displayed a photo of Dylann Roof — the man who murdered nine Black parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston — on the wall of his living room.

YANKEE: Yale has faced this test before

“It is not the disclaimer affidavit that will make our colleges and universities bulwarks of our security, nor even the oath of allegiance which they accept. It is our trust in them to pursue the course the nation has set for them—a course they can pursue in freedom and in no other way.” 

SIESEL: Ward 1, built together

I am running to represent Ward 1 on the Board of Alders to fight for a justice system that listens, delivers and responds to every New Haven resident. Here’s who I am and the values I stand for.

SANTOPIETRO: You should read Thoreau

In class, learn to appreciate how difficult it may be to listen to your professor. Close your browsers and lower your laptop screen. Next time a friend hits you with the classic Yale nicety “let’s get a meal” maybe try to take a walk somewhere new.

DEWEES & NEWTON: Don’t go with your “gut” on CourseTable

As you register for courses this week, remember that the numbers on CourseTable don’t tell the whole story

MOORE: Take a chance

Last week, I took a chance. I declared my solo campaign for Yale College Council President. Now, I’m asking you to take a chance — on me.

PAZ & NGUYEN: A better Yale for all

Our platform: make laundry free and make lunch great again.

HIRS: Yale Hospitality continues assault on residential colleges

As an associate fellow of Timothy Dwight College, I have seen firsthand the decline of the residential college system under the guise of efficiency or expediency for decades.
