Well, yes I thought about that too. Maybe it will be better all 'round.
But what I just couldn't let go of was that this man has basically zero formal education, worked in an executive capacity for one of the most despicable regimes on the planet, yet gets not only admitted to Yale but full funding too.
Alot of American kids might have liked a chance at that, you know?
Were I a Yale alumnus, I would be furious.
I agree. I would really like to believe this young man will use this remarkable opportunity to become a decent man. Hard to believe though..
If I were a Yale alum- I'd be on the phone wanting answers.
I am a Yale alumnus and I am furious. Oh, and I'm also a donor. At least I was until last year. We can only hope that enough alumni complain that they finally get it right by denying his application to be admitted to the regular degree program next fall. I understand the harsh criticisms of Yale on this site feel and they are justified. I am embarrassed of my alma mater but despite what you may think not ALL Yale students or alumni are libs. A lot of my classmates were making phonecalls and sending emails to the Admissions office, the President's Office, and the Office of Development today demanding an explanation from the school. We shall see what comes of it.
