- medymed 11y agoRecipe for dealing with cultural conflicts at Yale: 1. Express indignation 2. Convene a committee 3. Produce a report recommending hiring new administrator for diversity/cultural-somethingness 4. Hire administrator It will happen...just wait for it...
- eximius 11y agoSome telling quotes: "...one student who, in a Yale Herald piece published today, criticized the invitation and argued that Nicholas Christakis “needs to stop instigating more debate.”" “So, my question is: are you going to say that? Or not?” she asked. “Cause then, I could just leave if you’re not gonna say that.” - Not particularly telling, but I find the sheer lack of expressiveness amusing. """ “As your position as master, it is your job to create a place of comfort and home for the students that live in Silliman,” one student says. “You have not done that. By sending out that email, that goes against your position as master. Do you understand that?” When Christakis disagreed, the student proceeded to yell at him. “Who the fuck hired you?” she asked, arguing that Christakis should “step down” because being master is “not about creating an intellectual space,” but rather “creating a home.” """ The ignorance is strong at Yale, apparently.
