- The Lesson from Murder's Row, Two Layers Deeper. A lesson from WW II we need to relearn today.
- Jonathan Turley: Yale Medical school accused of racial discrimination in admissions. This is my shocked face.

- Jonathan Turley: Yale no longer has any Republican professors. Another form of the Pattern.

More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

On this day in 2004 Yale pulled a great prank on Harvard by having Crimson fans hold up signs that said "We Suck."
For my money this remains the best prank in college football history.
The growth of administrators at Yale is out of control. Increase in tuition charges leads to the hiring of more, and more administrators. Which leads to an increase in tuition charges. "Yale's administrators today exceeds the number of faculty - 5,066 compared to 4,937." That's mind blowing to me.
All these administrators have created competing fiefdoms and none of these fiefdoms are interested in giving up personnel or power. The expansion of the medical facilities is a valid explanation for some of the growth but this is ridiculous. And there is ZERO evidence that this has led to a better educational experience. Actually the opposite as these power hungry fiefdoms have led to a series of controversies at the university.
Yale may be past the point of no return. Perhaps at this point they should just change the school mascot from the bulldog to the Vogon (too obscure?).
