I would wager that for the vast majority of students attending Yale that the reduction in social time is way more than the increase in family duties. At least they should have reduced social interactions at this point. Sure there are some impacted, treat them individually (that's one of the things you pay Ivy league rates for, right?). Wheeling out a sob story of a handful of students in order to grant benefits to everyone just doesn't make sense. The school should be rigorous and push students as best it can. That's how I viewed school, though, and I realize it is a minority opinion.
