Yale President Peter Salovey trashing then-Mayor Toni Harp in 2016 for supporting state bill to tax more of Yale’s for-profit property.
(Opinion)— On Tuesday, Yale University President Peter Salovey published aresponse to Mayor Justin Elicker’s recentstatementasking Yale and Yale New Haven Hospital to fulfill their ethical responsibility to New Haven by increasing the amount of their voluntary financial contributions. This exchange followed the release of Mayor Elicker’s first city budget proposal, which included a 3.5 percent tax increase and cutbacks on personnel and city programs.
This is not the first time the city has demanded that Yale do its part for New Haven. But once again, Yale leadership fails to acknowledge that the city’s most pressing need is for unrestricted revenue, given the extent of non-taxable, Yale-owned property.

(Opinion) — For all the worth of Yale’s programs open to the public over the years, few have had the advantage of in-your-face timeliness. But one such program occurred this week, as the academic calendar collided with the worldwide health crisis.

(Updated)—Alders unanimously voted to throw their support behind the hundreds of environmental protesters who rushed the field during the Yale-Harvard game, and to call for all charges to be dropped against the 50 who were arrested.
New Haven and Yale police ended up arresting 50 people during the halftime-plus environmental protest Saturday during the Yale-Harvard football game.
Forty-eight of those arrested were charged with disorderly conduct and given a promise to appear, while two were charged with both disorderly conduct and criminal trespass, and were taken to pre-trial lockup at police headquarters for processing.
(Opinion) At a time when the social divide between the privileged class and regular people is growing ever wider, I decided to capture images of what it looks like when the elite are enjoying life in their natural habitat — in this case the 136th installment of “The Game” between Yale and Harvard football teams, which took place Saturday at the Yale Bowl.
