Yale fraternity Skull and Bones (not really a fraternity, but a 501c3 organization, btw) was founded in 1932 by Joseph Robinson. The Robinson family made their money in the Opium trade.
Trump should take away their tax free status and charge them back taxes. According to rumor (and past members) when a member dies he leaves 10% of his estate to Skull and Bones. They must have hundreds of millions of dollars.

Should Professors and Administrators earn more than 10x the minimum wage? No. Two times minimum wage would be about right, especially based on the product (or lack thereof) they are delivering to the world.

People fail to grasp the import of acts mentioned in the article: i.e. such acts are part of the total war being waged against Western Civilization. A war by the way the West is losing. The West will be the first civilization toppled solely by means of words.

I think there is a movement Bernie should get on there.

“If Yale is opening the door to renaming its residential colleges, how can it stop there, when Elihu Yale, whom Yale is named for, was also involved in the slave trade?
“As an official for the East India Company in Madras (present-day Chennai), Yale presided over an important node of the Indian Ocean slave trade.
...
“So how can Yale stop at renaming residential colleges? The answer is that once it opens the door to this, it can’t. Elihu Yale did good things and bad, but even though the university named for him is not (yet) associated in people’s minds with the slave trade, just as Calhoun College is not, that will not be good enough. It will never be over for the Left, even after Harvard and Yale become Che Guevara College and Obama U.”
The only hope to satisfy the young leftist heads full of mush will be to rename Calhoun College and Yale U. after persons with unimpeachable credentials: radical feminist, atheist lesbians of black, Hispanic, and Pacific Islander descent. They can do no wrong in the current climate, right?

Yale needs to be tasked with fixing New Haven.
That's what they THINK they've been doing!

Somebody ought to dig some dirt on John Harvard.... Ah, that is the rub, as put by the Bard. Once you open this can, it becomes unmanageable. Surely "William and Mary" (permitted slavery) should be renamed and next you find that even the place-named schools can be associated with something odious. After all the 'Battle of Princeton' should force that renaming (guns and death and Christmas!) The idiocracy potential is unlimited!

Even President Kennedy--no Conservative--recognized that Calhoun was one of the truly great Americans of the first half of the 19th Century, and featured him as one of the five Senators honored in his "Profiles In Courage." Those defaming his memory at Yale today do not enhance the reputation of the school as a serious center of learning.
Pretty sad stuff, everything considered.

Sometimes the university is part of the problem in a crappy city. In a small city, a large institution that is exempt from property taxes can make it hard to balance a municipal budget.

I had an interesting mail exchange with the late Conservative writer & incisive journalist, James Jackson Kilpatrick, in the late 1950s, in which he expressed an opinion to the effect, that it was becoming virtually impossible to actually satirize the accelerating demands of the Left in what was euphemistically referred to as the "Civil Rights Movement," in that era. The demands were accelerating so rapidly!
This Yale agitation, almost sixty years later, really emphasizes his point.

They need to wait until after Hillary is convicted of child trafficking to name the university after her.
From one slave trafficker to another—perfect for Yale!
