Yale has decided to kill its “institutional voice” and quit issuing statements on controversial issues.
After years of making statements on hot-button topics from abortion to Black Lives Matter, the Ivy League school will adopt a standard of “institutional neutrality,” in a bid to stay out of the culture wars.
University president Maurie McInnis announced Wednesday the school would keep its mouth shut and “refrain from issuing statements concerning matters of public, social, or political significance, except in rare cases.”
Who cares what a college as a collective thinks about the latest election results or faddish protest cause? And since when is it up to a college president to speak for everyone in the community, assuming they’re all on the same page? What ever happened to diversity of opinion?
Yale made the right move — and it’s time for other colleges to follow suit.
McInnis appointed a Committee on Institutional Voice to determine what — if any — stances the school should take on current events and, after seven weeks of meetings, the committee concluded: just about none.
What schools should and shouldn’t opine about came into sharp focus in the wake of Hamas’ October 7th terror attack on Israel. Many colleges and universities remained uncharacteristically silent, hesitating to condemn the atrocities that took place for fear of agitating campus activists.
This selective silence, understandably, left many Jewish students feeling abandoned.

Don't forget to include the global warming scam.
It won’t last long.
They can’t restrain themselves.
It will last 4 years. While Trump is in office, they will cower in fear. As soon as a Democrat gets back into power, Yale will be quick to say, “From the river to the sea ...”

I read through the comments to see who would have the most likely take on this. So far, you’re the thread winner.
La times, Washington post, Facebook, cnn and now yale? Something is up. Too weird not to be a leftist strategy.
They probably know who the next prez will be and want to be good little doobies just like the LA Slimes and a couple others that won’t endorse Hairess.
Contributions and applications are down since they allowed terrorists to attack Jews. Not complicated
Yale was idiotic to start this crap in the first place
Tax their endowments.
If churches can’t speak their teachings without losing their tax exempt status why the hell do colleges and universities get away with this crap?
Bingo. Tucker is a huge proponent of taxing endowments. He calls universities “hedge funds with schools attached”. Now he is in Trump’s inner circle, they are crapping themselves.
Obama is depressed about this.
If this is a "sea change" election, a "fourth turning" as it may be, this will last about 75-80 years.
Too late. We all know Yale for the Woke infested, unfree, Jew hating, oppressive indoctrination factory for rich kids it has become. Its too late to try to get their reputation back now.
BTTT
TAX THEIR ENDOWMENTS!
Amen!
Yale alone has an Endowment of $41,000,000,000.00! Endowments at these leftist, liberal, socialist, “factories” total over a TRILLION dollars. Not one penny of our tax dollars should ever go to these colleges and universities.
IF a Republican Congress took this up as an issue in light of ever increasing tuition costs and Biden’s loan forgiveness sham.
Higher education needs a complete review and overhaul.
BS. They’re feeling heat from benefactors, so they do this as window dressing. The “institutional voice” hasn’t changed, and they will still indoctrinate as much as possible.
I wouldn’t send my grandkids to Yale if it was free.
Like all leftist entetees Yale is lying.
AMEN! University of Tennessee has $1.7 BILLION in the kitty. Flood victims could use some of that cash. Alumni are greedy bastards.
They are running scared, they see a Trump win.
