Yale isn’t America’s only top institution facing a meltdown
NY Post ^ | June 10, 2021 | Glenn H. Reynolds

Trouble is brewing at Yale University for a number of reasons..

Yale University appears to be in the midst of a meltdown. You may find that irrelevant, or even amusing, but you shouldn’t. Because Yale’s sad condition, unfortunately, is common to many of our most important institutions.

As I wrote here last week, Yale’s governing board, faced with a challenge by an outsider, secretly rewrote its rules as the votes were counted, so as to ensure no more unapproved candidates.

Why is Yale so eager to avoid outside scrutiny?

There was also a scandal about a speaker at Yale who discussed “the psychopathic problem of the white mind” and talked about emptying her revolver into the head of any white person who got in her way.

But the big Yale development this week came from my alma mater, Yale Law School, where the New York Times reported on a bizarre student campaign against law professor Amy Chua, best known for her “Tiger Mom” book on raising children.

Both she and her husband, Jed Rubenfeld, were made pariahs on campus based on student complaints, coincidentally shortly after showing support for then-nominee for the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh.

...

in a place that is supposed to be all about the rule of law, we see anonymous mob rule. With very few exceptions, today’s Yale Law School contains either people who are deliberately behaving badly or people who are too afraid to stand up to those who are. We hear a lot about justice, but anonymous accusations and power politics aren’t justice, and places that are ruled in such a fashion tend to do badly.

The question is whether there is anyone in charge willing to show principle and decency: at Yale and elsewhere.

At that point Yale has reached critical mass to be able to provide free tuition to the whole student body.

or people who are too afraid to stand up to those who are

Yep. Which is why the fags and anarchists have been able to burn America to the ground.

"But, they haven't." You say?

So, tell me. When was the last time you saw America? Because in its current iteration, this is not the America I grew up in.

Yale has become a hedge-fund, with a leftist puppy-mill attached to it

BINGO

I was told a story by a senior pilot for a major airline just yesterday. There is a white woman pilot at the airline who has 41 years in, highly respected. A young Japanese co-pilot verbally corrected an action by this senior pilot while in flight. Later the co-pilot told the pilot “I am aggressive when I believe I’m right.” The senior pilot replied, “You sure are! And you should be, we need co-pilots to correct anything wrong that happens.”

The co-pilot accused the pilot of racially attacking her and took a picture of her Blue Lives Matter tie clip that she wears for her detective husband. The president of the airline showed the picture to the pilot when she visited his office to discuss the incident.

It looks like the Senior pilot is going to get fired. The pilot who told me the story says employee morale is terrible, everyone walking on eggshells. You can’t even say “fat finger” about a keyboard miss-strike.

If you really want to fix the budget, and in the process really “tax the rich”, then have the investment returns of all “non profits” taxed at the full corporate rate.

It is. But, is still closed because of Covid. The previous owner, Mike, was a friend of mine. He and his wife both died of drugs. Man, we used to party there and at their house in Branford. Some of us grew up and left that crap behind us, if ya know what I mean?
