FOSSIL FREE YALE

Fossil Free Yale hosted a vigil outside Woodbridge Hall following the Yale Corporation’s decision not to divest from fossil fuels.

BY MATTHEW LLOYD-THOMAS AND ADRIAN RODRIGUES STAFF REPORTERS The Yale Corporation has voted not to divest the University’s assets from fossil fuel companies.

The decision came in the context of a report by

the Yale Corporation’s Committee on Investor Responsibility (CCIR) on what actions Yale, as an institutional investor, should take to address climate change. University President Peter Salovey announced the Corporation’s decision in an email

to the Yale community Wednesday afternoon that also introduced several sustainability initiatives.

Students affiliated with Fossil Free Yale (FFY) — a student group advocating divestment — and the Yale College Council, which held a referendum last year

that found that a majority of Yale students were in favor of divestment, expressed their frustration with the University’s actions. On Wednesday night, FFY hosted a vigil outside of Woodbridge Hall in which over a hundred students — many of

whom had not been previously involved with divestment campaigns — gathered in a circle to mourn the decision, taking turns to share their thoughts.

Gabe Rissman ’17, policy coordinator for Fossil Free Yale, told the crowd that the vigil did not mark the

end of student divestment campaigns at Yale.

“We’re not giving up,” he said.

Reflecting on previous student efforts to effect change, other students called for a more confronSEE DIVESTMENT PAGE 6

Great ideas? Ordinary put

their thinking caps on for Wednesday night’s alcohol options. As part of their Cocktail Lab, the bar paired drinks named Plato and Nietzsche for a “Philosophers Stoned” combo. “Sip them side by side and see where it takes you!” the promotion read.

Hipster scene update. A phenomenon called the PechaKucha 20x20 — a presentation where the presenter shows 20 images for 20 seconds each and talks about them as they advance — has been established in New Haven. The 20th PechaKucha was held last week. This week’s PechaKucha will feature discussions of “the value of a healthy dance ecology,” “buried treasure” and “New Haven, Perfect Place to Start a Weird Rock Band.”

Chocolate therapy. The

Chaplain’s Office welcomed freshmen to campus with an ice cream cart this week that also passed out free “chocolate shaped stress balls.”

Reddit for Credit. MIT is

offering a course this fall known as “Credit for Reddit”.

The course will cover the complexities of social media and online forums like Reddit.

Students will examine social media as objects and probe the social and political consequences of social media websites. MIT researcher and admissions officer Chris Peterson, who is teaching the course, came up with the concept after a student commented that he spend so much time on Reddit he might as well get credit for it.

Alcohol policy rolls out

Bagley suit moves forward

BY HANNAH SCHWARZ AND WESLEY YIIN STAFF REPORTERS An increased emphasis on student health is the focus of a new Yale College policy on alcohol-related incidents rolled out this semester.

In May, the Yale College Dean’s Office announced the new policy, which clarifies an existing rule that students seeking help for alcohol-related medical emergencies will not be disciplined by the College. The policy, which now mandates health counseling or educational programs for those treated for alcohol incidents, is a result of the University’s aim to focus on alcohol safety, prevention and education over disciplinary action. While all freshmen interviewed knew about the new policy, the vast majority of upperclassmen surveyed were unaware of the change.

“It’s in the interest of Yale College that students have an appropriately low threshold for getting help and sending people who are seriously intoxicated to get help, rather than having students who are unresponsive or who are at risk of complications of serious intoxication, in dorm SEE ALCOHOL PAGE 4

BY ISAAC STANLEY-BECKER STAFF REPORTER One of the students responsible for engaging Ward 1 residents in the political process must resign after moving outside the ward, according to Democratic Town Committee bylaws.

Ariana Shapiro ’16, a Ward 1 co-chair, has moved from Branford College to an off-campus residence on Dwight Street, roughly three blocks outside the ward comprising mainly Yale undergraduates.

She now lives in Ward 2.

Shapiro and fellow co-chair Jacob Wasserman ’16 ran unopposed in March for the positions, which also function as the ward’s two seats on the Democratic Town Committee. As the local arm of the Democratic Party, the DTC has considerable power in this deep-blue city; it votes on endorsements in local races and mobilizes voters in statewide elections, including the looming gubernatorial race between Democratic incumbent Dannel Malloy and Republican challenger Tom Foley.

BY YUVAL BEN-DAVID AND LAVINIA BORZI STAFF REPORTERS Next spring, undergraduates will have the opportunity to enroll in a special academic program in human rights.

The new Human Rights program was modeled on other special academic programs at Yale, such as Energy Studies and Education Studies, and

will not offer a degree or certificate. Instead, according to director and Yale Law School professor Jim Silk LAW ’89, the program will provide a structure to bring together students and faculty members interested in human rights. The program was approved at a faculty meeting last April.

'THEANTIYALE' ON 'A FLAWED SPEECH'

Keeping (out) The vote against divestment the faith G U E ST C O LU M N I ST M I T C H E L L BA R R OWS

A

little while back, in one of those rare moments of intimacy among a large group of friends, a tough question arose: “Do y’all believe in a God, a higher being, a larger power, whatever you want to call it?”

Preparing for the generic I-am-not-religious-but-Iam-spiritual answer that so many espouse, I was somewhat surprised at what I heard.

Most people just said “no” — but many also added a qualification: “But I wish I did, I feel like I would be happier.”

Yale is not a faithless place.

Walk into St. Thomas More, Black Church at Yale or Slifka on any given weekend and you will most certainly see a crowd, probably a close friend or two. But why is it that in our common rooms and conversations we are so reticent to address our faith?

WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT FAITH, WE LEARN MORE ABOUT OURSELVES AND OTHERS At the most basic level, faith is a terribly un-academic topic of discussion to tackle at a place defined by its academics. Religious argumentation proves accessible if structured like a research paper (the Torah says x, and the New Testament says y, therefore we can conclude that z is the moral course of action). But when we start discussing faith — the less tangible aspect of religious observance — we’re left open to charges of assumption from dissatisfied listeners. Faced with the question, “But how do you know?” one can only answer, “I simply do.” And we can’t blame our friends for giving us the side-eye when we rely on personal intuition. To paraphrase Marina Keegan’s short story “Reading Aloud,” we are comfortable with the study of God, not the worship of Him. In some sense, we are affected by campus politics and living in a climate that draws from the legacy of William F. Buckley, the man who shot to fame by penning God and Man at Yale. The success of the American conservative movement in co-opting religious enthusiasm for its political agenda (and the failure of left-leaning factions to do the same) comes into play. On a predominantly liberal campus, faith-based justifications for our political ideologies are less likely to enter the campus dialogue. When we think of faith-

b a s e d political a c t iv i s m , our minds jump to m o v e m e n t s seeking to restrict KYLE to TRAMONTE access abortion services Green on or uphold traditional the Vine f a m ily structures. We don’t have similar religious justifications for policies like the redistribution of wealth or the advancement of prisoners’ rights. The result is an unhealthy equilibrium: Faith is associated only with the Right and it is stricken from Yale conversations.

We must also acknowledge that atheism is a luxury good.

At a place where nearly half of students come from families that earn over $200,000, consumption is high. I am not making the claim that students from high-income families cannot possess strong faith, but I am suggesting that the riches promised in the next life are much less alluring when the livin’ is easy in the current one.

While I’ve chosen three answers, one can arrive at many conclusions as to why we don’t talk about faith at Yale College. But the reasons we come up with are not as important as correcting for the error. We should talk about faith. We should talk about it not because existential arguments are necessary for the college experience, nor to try to “win” any sort of debate. We should talk about it because one’s take on faith reveals much more than one’s religion.

To believe or not to believe is a choice that individuals make based on life experiences. Faith both shapes and is shaped by our political views and, to an extent, molds our hopes for the future. So when we discuss faith, we are not just talking about what moves someone to attend a religious service or abstain from eating a certain food or dress a certain way. We are presented with the opportunity to discuss some of the most formative events in another person’s life, how they have shaped their outlook on this world and potentially the next. We are given the chance to dig deep and ask not what someone’s views are but why they possess those views.

More simply, we get to know one another — and ourselves.

So next time faith enters the conversation, don’t keep it out. Let it in. You might be surprised what you find out.

The Yale Corporation’s Committee on Investor Responsibility (CCIR) claims that divestment is a less effective means of addressing climate change than education and research. While we strongly believe that Yale must utilize its resources to add to knowledge on climate change, doing so in isolation does not appropriately address the magnitude and urgency of the climate crisis. Divestment addresses the root causes of climate change, and in its capacity to challenge the fossil fuel industry at its core can prevent further carbon emissions and other related social damages. Divestment adds a new level of national awareness on climate change that education and research do not.

Fossil Free Yale by no means wishes to diminish the significance of the six new initiatives announced yesterday by the Yale administration. As the News reports, the six new initiatives are a $21 million investment in energy reduction and greenhouse gas reduction, expanded deployment of renewable energy on campus, disclosure of the University’s greenhouse gas initiatives, Green Innovation Fel-

lowships, school-specific sustainability goals and the consideration of an internal carbon pricing mechanism.

We applaud the University’s commitment to a greener campus. But these initiatives insufficiently address climate change as a global phenomenon. They only serve to distract the Yale community from the University’s complicity in perpetuating climate change and the exploitation of vulnerable communities.

Simply put, we cannot compensate for the damage our investments inflict on spaces outside the Yale bubble by greening our campus. We must remember that climate change disproportionately affects people of color, the poor, the indigenous and citizens of less developed countries. To individually wean ourselves off of fossil fuels only accounts for half of the equation.

With the second largest college endowment in the country, Yale has the moral and symbolic capital to make a difference through divestment. As students, we have a responsibility to work with our administration to create a future that is liveable for us and for posterity. This future

cannot include a thriving fossil fuel industry. Divestment stigmatizes fossil fuel companies, stimulates dialogue about its role in corrupting politics and opens the social space for real climate legislation.

Buried in the documents released by the administration yesterday, the CCIR states that Yale’s “leadership by example and encouragement among peer institutions” provides gravity to the actions that Yale has decided to take. In deciding not to take a holistic approach to fighting climate change, the University is losing the potential to turn the tide in the fight for climate justice. Yale’s actions around divestment could have catalyzed further response among universities, citizens, private investors and policy makers we desperately need to reach.

Yale cannot shy away from its position, power and privilege in the international fight against climate change. Yale must divest.

Y

esterday, President Salovey said that “greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change is the most important issue that faces the world in our time.” Yet he announced yesterday that Yale will exclude any endowment action from its comprehensive sustainability plan — an illogical move that indicates a severe lapse in moral judgment.

If Salovey speaks genuinely, and Yale does seriously consider climate change as the defining issue of our time, this poses a serious question: Why does it seem fit to continue to profit off of an industry that threatens human livelihood on this planet without taking significant action to redress the social harms of this industry? Why reduce our emissions at home, but still financially support emissions elsewhere?

The truth is that the business model of the fossil fuel industry hedges on the continued exploration for and extraction of fossil fuels, the exploitation of vulnerable communities and the suppression of alternative energy expansion. In making the decision not to divest, Yale endorsed this business model and sent a signal of complacency.

Rev. Shipman’s hate W

hen prominent members of the Yale community voice their opinions on divisive issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, particularly hurtful and demeaning statements need to be swiftly and sharply addressed by the administration, students and staff. On Aug. 26, the New York Times posted a letter to the editor from Yale’s own Rev. Bruce Shipman, campus Episcopal chaplain, in which Rev. Shipman propagated decades-old misconceptions about Jews and Israel — and publicly participated in fanning the flames of anti-Semitism currently rampant around the world.

Most inflammatory was his supposed connection between “Israel’s policies in the West Bank and Gaza and growing anti-Semitism in Europe and beyond.” As has been documented in the media, demonstrations in Europe organized to protest Israel’s defense of its borders from the terrorist group Hamas became anti-Semitic demonstrations. Protestors did not chant “stop the Israelis” in the recent demonstrations across Europe; they chanted “kill

the Jews” and “gas the Jews”.

When bombs are thrown at synagogues, as they recently were in Western Germany and Toulouse, that act of hatred is against Jews, no matter their political beliefs — not against Israel.

ANTI-SEMITISM DOES NOT BELONG ON YALE'S CAMPUS The façade of protest against Israel’s military has allowed hideous anti-Semitic statements to escape condemnation. Now that Rev. Shipman is attempting to bring this sinister allusion to Yale’s campus, it must be condemned in the strongest tone possible: declared untrue and contrary to Yale’s values of respectful, honest discussion.

There are ways to protest against Israel’s policies without making anti-Semitic statements. Israel is not made up only of Jews; it is a model for religious tolerance, a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East, home to Arabs, Christians,

Druze and many other religions.

Israel is, in fact, one of the only places in the Middle East where citizens are free to criticize their own government. We do not criticize all Catholics for statements we disagree with from the Vatican, nor do we criticize all Muslims for laws or actions we disagree with in predominately Muslim nations. Jews are no exception.

Even more sickening is Rev. Shipman’s statement that the “best antidote for anti-Semitism would be for Israel’s patrons abroad to press the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for final-status resolution to the Palestinian question.” Deliberate use of “final-status resolution” and “Palestinian question” raises the specter of the Holocaust and the resolution of the “Jewish Question”: the Nazi’s genocide of the Jewish people in Europe. Though he likely desires a peaceful end to the conflict, Rev. Shipman insinuates that the Israelis are conducting genocide against Palestinians by using these terms.

Such a statement is indefensible. Israel is protecting its borders and its citizens from rocket attacks and tunnel penetrations.

No nation would permit such a threat to its citizens and national security from a radical terrorist group.

As a Jew living in the diaspora, I am in no way responsible for Israel’s actions. I am not Israeli.

There is no reason that any political action of Israel should affect my life, or any diaspora Jew anywhere. I happen to be fully supportive of Israel and its defense strategy and hope that the eventual disarmament of Hamas will lead to long-term peace.

I, like many other Jews and students on campus, am astonished and appalled that Rev. Shipman would say such untrue, hateful words about Jews and Israel. I am deeply ashamed, however, that the “Yale” name appears next to his at the bottom of that letter. Yale must be a place for honest intellectual debate. Yale University and the Yale community stand to lose when leaders on its campus — whether or not they are directly employed by the University — spew hateful, anti-Semitic speech.

Career services centralize

BY RISHABH BHANDARI STAFF REPORTER Undergraduates will not be the only students walking into 55 Whitney Ave. this year.

Formerly known as Undergraduate Career Services (UCS), Yale’s career advising office has expanded and rebranded itself as the Office of Career Strategy. In a Monday email to the student body, Yale College Dean John Holloway announced that the new office will advise both graduate and undergraduate students beginning this year. Previously, graduate students were advised by Graduate Career Services (GCS), which was disbanded in June after its director Victoria Blodgett left the University to become an assistant dean of graduate and postgraduate affairs at the University of Connecticut.

Though Blodgett’s position as the advisor primarily tasked with counseling graduate students has yet to be filled, Jeanine Dames, the former director of UCS who will now head the Office of Career Strategy, said the replacement process is ongoing and one of her most urgent priorities. In the meantime, both she and director of employment programs, Kenneth Koopmans, are acting as the primary advisors for graduate students.

Dames said undergraduates will not be negatively affected by the unification of the offices. If anything, undergraduates will benefit from the merger because alumni of the graduate school will now be accessible through the alumni database hosted on Symplicity, she said.

Although the number of advisors accessible to the graduate student body will not change, Koopmans said the unification of the office will empower the advisor who specializes in graduate student advising to spend more time on face-to-face sessions with students.

“By combining the offices, we can streamline a lot of work and expand employer outreach for both pools of students,” said Koopmans, who is also the deputy director of the Office of Career

Strategies. He added that it was very difficult for Blodgett to cultivate employer relations while advising an entire student population on her own, whereas the Office of Career Strategies can spread that back-room work across a group of advisors.

Brian Dunican GRD ’15, a former president of the Graduate Student Assembly (GSA), said he is excited about this move because it follows years of administrative inactivity. Dunican said the GSA had been lobbying the administration for a number of years, asserting that its students were being underserved by the existing career resources available relative to students in other graduate schools.

Although University officials were sympathetic in conversations with the GSA, Dunican said he saw little evidence that there would be administrative changes until after Blodgett’s resignation.

Joori Park GRD ’17, the current president of the GSA, said changes in the academic market have made it more important for students to have access to professional career counseling beyond their academic departments.

“Although your department might be the best source for finding a job within the academy, an increasing number of students are considering private sector jobs that their faculty advisors may not be best equipped to help you with,” she said.

Dames echoed Park’s statement, citing a case where one of her first graduate students, who was studying for a PhD in a STEM field, was interviewing for a position as an in-house science advisor for a top New York law firm.

Both Park and Dunican said the structural changes are important not only because they will free up the time of the full-time graduate student advisor, but also because they will provide graduate students with resources already available to undergraduates, such as Symplicity and an alumni database for references and networking.

Still, Dunican said it is important for Yale to follow up on this move by adding more advisors

who specialize in advising graduate students.

“This is very much a step in the right direction, but I still think that the nearly 3,000 graduate students can use more than one advisor,” he said.

Citing a report compiled by the GSA last year, Park said both the graduate schools of University of Pennsylvania and Columbia have four career staff compared to Yale’s one. According to the GSA’s report, both Yale’s professional schools and Yale College also have much better advisor-tostudent ratios.

Both Dames and Jane Edwards, dean of international and professional experiences and Yale College senior associate dean, said it is difficult to predict how this integration will affect the day-to-day routine of the office because the GCS did not record comprehensive data on subjects such as how many students utilized its services or at what times during the calendar year most students sought its counsel. It also did not have a robust online portal for students to use in lieu of in-person sessions.

“We’ll be carefully tracking the data in the first months to see if there’s a need to adjust or add resources,” Dames said.

Edwards said the transition comes at a fiscally challenging time for the University, adding that the Office of Career Strategy had its budget cut by approximately five percent this year. Still, she said the office will petition for more resources if students’ needs are not being met.

In order to prevent any potential confusion between the Online Course Selection (OCS) system that students use to select courses and the Office of Career Services, Koopmans said the office would try to reduce its usage of the acronym.

The Office of Career Services will maintain an office in Hall of Graduate Studies with walk-in hours from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. every weekday for graduate students.

Summer of service connects Yalies to city

BY SARAH BRULEY STAFF REPORTER This summer 35 Yale students served as tutors, consultants and interns as a part of the President’s Public Service Fellowship in New Haven.

The fellowship, funded by Yale, matches each student to a different local nonprofit organization.

Throughout the course of the summer, fellows worked with an adviser on projects targeting specific problems in the Elm City. Some student participants said the experience lead them to question whether the University does enough to engage with its host city. “[Yale and New Haven] are joined together at the hip, but a lot of people don’t understand us and it’s the same for a lot of Yale students,” said Carl Stanley MUS ’15, a recipient of the fellowship. “They don’t understand the city, besides the hot spots we all go to.”

This summer, the fellowship matched 14 undergraduate students and 21 graduate students with nonprofits for eight to 11 weeks based on students’ experience and site needs, said Karen King, director of Yale’s President’s Public Service Fellowship in an email.

Service sites must also compete to work with the service fellowship each summer — those that promote economic development, neighborhood revitalization and youth education are prioritized, King said.

It can be years before an organization receives a fellow, said Julie Greenwood, executive director of Squash Haven, which teaches squash and provides academic support to New Haven students, adding that this is the first year Squash Haven received a placement after years of submitting proposals.

Aside from their projects, fellows also met with a series of New Haven leaders including Bruce Alexander ’65, Vice President of New Haven and State Affairs and Campus Development and former Mayor John DeStefano Jr., as well as local artists and nonprofit organizers, said Kyle Yoder ’15, a fellow placed with the New Haven’s Department of Arts, Culture and

Olea to offer fusion food

Tourism.

The fellowship’s series of speakers offered a perspective outside of the “Yale bubble” that still surrounds some Yale-based community service projects, said Sakshi Kumar ’16, a fellow placed with the Elmseed Enterprise Fund, which helps local entrepreneurs.

Though fellows said the program was valuable, some added that the experience opened their eyes to a disconnect between Yale and New Haven.

[Students] don’t understand the city, besides the hot spots we all go to.

CARL STANLEY MUS ’15 President’s Public Service Fellowship recipient The community service initiatives started at Yale often are not as impactful as those formed by New Haven residents, Kumar said.

Others chimed in with concerns that Yale isn’t helping the Elm City as much as it could.

“The University can send out a lot of students into the communities, and that’s really impactful, but the University also needs to commit more resources,” said Fish Stark ’17, a fellow placed in Squash Haven.

Outside of committing more resources, some fellows called for improved dialogue between Yale and New Haven.

“Asking if Yale should throw more money at the City is missing the point,” said Zac Krislov ’15, former fellow in Common Grounds, a high school urban farm and environmental education center. “I do think there are areas where Yale could be more involved in building the community dialogue.”

Over 600 Yale students have contributed more than 210,000 service hours as President’s Public Service Fellows since 1994.

The former head chef of Ibiza plans to take his new Mediterranean fusion restaurant in bold culinary directions.

BY J.R REED STAFF REPORTER Just six months after Ibiza Restaurant closed, a new restaurant featuring Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine opened its doors at 39 High St. Olea, the new restaurant occupying the space next to the Little Salad Shop, held its grand opening last night.

Although the space is under new ownership, the restaurant will have a familiar face at the helm — Manuel Romero, former executive chef for Ibiza, will be the chef at the new fusion restaurant in addition to assuming partial ownership. After serving authentic Spanish food in New Haven for over a decade, Ibiza closed this past March due to a dispute between the landlord and restaurant owners Sonia and Ignacio Blanco, the New Haven Independent reported in March.

Olea will have a “soft opening,” according to Andrea Romero, the chef’s wife, who also works at the restaurant. For the first week or so, Olea will only be open for dinner, though the restaurant will eventually also offer lunch meals.

“We want to start well and we are taking it slow,” Romero said on the

night of the restaurant’s opening. “So far, the customers seem to be happy.”

Romero said he intends to incorporate ingredients from all over the world into his dishes. Indeed, the owners chose the restaurant’s name to encapsulate this style of cooking.

The title refers to an olive tree popular in three different regions — the Mediterranean, Southern Europe and North Africa.

We want to start well and we are taking it slow.

MANUEL ROMERO Executive chef, Olea “We’re really trying to break away from traditional dishes,” Romero said. “This is going to be a totally new adventure from Ibiza.”

Romero cited a few of the dishes featured — including Tuna Tartare, Moroccan Chicken Tagine and beet salad with goat cheese croquette — as examples of the restaurant’s eclectic menu.

Romero said he is confident the new

spot will appeal to Yalies and other college students in the area because, little by little, more young people are becoming more interested in going out to eat.

Despite the fact that there are two other Spanish-focused restaurants a few blocks from Olea, Romero said he is not worried about potential competition, adding that he is not interested in how much nearby restaurants are charging or what ingredients they are using.

Thomas Aviles ’16, who has eaten at Ibiza a few times, said he enjoyed the ambiance, calling it a nice place to go to have a more formal meal for dates or other occasions.

“Obviously, that type of price range isn’t something that our particular demographic is going to pursue that frequently, but Ibiza was a nice option for when the goal was to be formal,” Aviles said.

During the opening period, Olea will be open between 5:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on weekdays, and extend their hours until 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

FROM THE FRONT Suit progresses towards trial BAGLEY FROM PAGE 1 sity in Bagley’s original suit.

However, Haight also denied a motion filed by Yale in March to dismiss all of the counts, paving the way for the case to move to trial.

“I thought it was a very well-reasoned opinion and am pleased with the result. All I’ve wanted from the beginning is to get the case before a jury,” Bagley said of Haight’s decision.

“This is a good milestone along the way to that path.”

Haight’s decision on the motion was accompanied by an extensive discussion of the merits of the University’s motion.

Though he did not entirely reject Yale’s argument, he denied the bulk of the claims in the motion.

This has dragged on for more than two years now ... the truth needs to be heard.

CONSTANCE BAGLEY Professor, Yale School of Management H a i g h t a l so d i s m i sse d Bagley’s claim of gender discrimination against Rae, Snyder and Metrick under Connecticut’s Fair Employment Practices Act. Haight dismissed Bagley’s claim of age discrimination under the same act and against the same three defendants. However, he left the counts against the University in place.

In addition, Haight dismissed Bagley’s count claiming that Yale committed a “breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing,” as well as a final count against Rae for defamation. “[The count] will be dismissed for [Bagley’s] failure to state a defamation claim against Rae with the requisite specificity,” Haight’s decision said.

Still, the decision stated that Bagley has until Sept. 26 of this year to replead the defamation count against Rae. Snyder and Rae declined to comment, while Metrick did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

“We are pleased that Judge Haight dismissed four counts of the complaint,” Conroy said.

“We will defend the remaining claims at trial.”

According to Matthew Shaltz, an attorney at Schwartz and Perry L.L.P. who specializes in employment law, while a motion to dismiss is a typical response

from defendants in such cases, courts rarely grant them. Dismissal only happens, he said, when it is blatantly clear that the plaintiff is making an unfair or unfounded claim.

Schaltz also said gender discrimination suits are generally among the most complex and drawn-out.

“Gender discrimination cases are unique because there is never any direct evidence — a smoking gun,” he said. “It’s all based on circumstantial evidence.”

Schaltz said that the most complex phase of the lawsuit is forthcoming, when both sides will engage in a process of discovery before an eventual trial — but that 95 percent of similar cases end in settlement outside of court.

Still, the University has expressed unwillingness to settle with Bagley.

“We’re defending the suit,” Conroy said “We don’t have anything to add to that.”

Bagley expressed uncertainty about whether or not she would consider settling with the University outside of court.

“At this point, I don’t know,” Bagley said “But I really do think that this has dragged on for more than two years now, and I think that the truth needs to be heard.”

Although Haight’s decision moves the case closer to trial, Bagley and Yale are unlikely to appear before a jury for some time. According to Bagley, the University has requested additional time to respond to her discovery requests for documents related to her employment.

For the time being, Bagley is still teaching at SOM. She taught three courses this summer and is offering a course called Legal Aspects of Entrepreneurship, which will be open to MBA students, undergraduates and other graduate students this fall.

But Bagley said she still faces obstacles to her teaching at the school.

“I was disheartened when Metrick insisted I reduce my [fall] course from a full semester course to a half semester course,” she said.

Her term on the Yale faculty, which has been extended because of the circumstances of her suit, expires on Dec. 31.

Student health first in policy

BRIANNA LOO/PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Yale College’s new alcohol policy clarifies an existing part of the undergraduate regulations that puts student safety before discipline.

ALCOHOL FROM PAGE 1 rooms, or lying on the floor, or in the stairwell,” said Director of Yale Health Paul Genecin.

According to Secretary and Vice President for Student Life Kimberly Goff-Crews, the new rules arose from students’ desire for a more clearly articulated policy concerning alcohol use.

Student safety is more important than disciplinary action.

KATHERINE LIN ’18 Yale’s previous medical emergency policy also emphasized prevention and treatment over disciplinary action, but the new policy makes clear that disciplinary action will not be taken against students who seek help for themselves or their friends. Students who elect to not see a specialist will risk being referred to the Executive Committee. According to Director of Yale Health Paul Genecin, under the previous policy, not everyone who ended up at Yale Health or YaleNew Haven Hospital went to an alcohol specialist after the incident.

The new policy differentiates between students whose intoxication is so severe that they have to be transported to YaleNew Haven Hospital, and those who spend the night at Yale Health. The latter will be required to meet with an alcohol specialist, while the former must also meet with their College Dean. Students

who seek assistance for another student whose intoxication is entirely unrelated to the helper’s actions will face no consequences.

Students who are repeatedly treated for alcohol-induced medical emergencies may be disciplined. The policy does not define the threshold for discipline, which will be determined on a case-bycase basis.

“It’s difficult to put a number on the times that a person must show up in order to establish a pattern of behavior,” Goff-Crews said in an email. “That is a decision that trained health professionals at Yale Health will have to make in the year ahead.”

Although only three of seven freshmen interviewed knew that the medical emergency policy is new, all knew the policy now emphasizes safety over discipline. In contrast, only two of the 10 upperclassmen interviewed knew of the new policy, and only one accurately identified that the changes are related to the University’s public health approach toward alcohol-related issues.

Goff-Crews said the University has taken and will continue to maintain an active role in publicizing the modified policy. After the policy was announced in May, members of the Dean’s Alcohol and Other Drugs Harm Reduction Initiative met with students to answer their questions.

When informed of the new policy, all 17 students interviewed said they approved of the new guidelines. Many noted that students may now be more likely to both report their own emergencies and assist those in need of medical

help.

“It makes people feel better about being able to help somebody,” Katherine Lin ’18 said. “Student safety is more important than disciplinary action.”

Freshman counselor Anthony Fumagalli ’15 said the freshman class became well-versed in the new policy through meetings with the residential college masters and deans.

“We want to make sure that every freshman understands that they will not be charged with disciplinary action should they call for help,” Fumagalli said in a Wednesday email. “We value the safety of all of our freshmen, and we want to make this policy very clear so they do not hesitate to seek help from the [freshman counselor], medical emergency professionals or any other appropriate figure.”

Daniel Henick ’17, who serves on the Undergraduate Student Advisory Board on Alcohol, said he believes that with this policy, students who need medical attention for alcohol-related emergencies will be less worried about being punished. Instead, they will focus more on seeking necessary medical assistance.

The new policy does not extend to punishable acts that students commit under the influence, such as reckless endangerment, hazing and sexual assault or harassment, nor does it protect students from criminal or civil liability.

Human rights program comes to Yale College HUMAN RIGHTS FROM PAGE 1 training program for human rights advocates,” Silk said. “This is going to be a program that teaches students a critical perspective on human rights.”

Silk said he sees the program as a realization of the original mandate of Yale Law School’s Schell Center for International Human Rights, which is to create a human rights center for the entire University. Silk said that while in the past the Schell Center has been geared almost entirely towards law students, the new program is part of the center’s broader outreach effort to provide undergraduates with academic and career advising.

The special academic program is the culmination of nearly eight years of student advocacy, Silk said.

The administration originally struck down efforts to create a human rights major some years ago, but two student advocates successfully pushed the new program through this year.

Talya Lockman-Fine ’15 and Paul Linden-Retek LAW ’12 GRD ’18, along with Silk, spent six months carrying a petition through the Provost’s Office, the Committee on Majors and eventually the Yale College faculty.

“Part of the hope is that creating this program is part of an effort — much broader than just Yale — to legitimize human rights as a field of study,” Lockman-Fine said.

The program joins some undergraduate human rights programs that already exist at other schools,

including Bard College, the University of California at Berkeley, Barnard College and Columbia University.

Part of the hope is that creating this program is part of an effort — much broader than just Yale — to legitimize human rights as a field of study.

TALYA LOCKMAN-FINE ’15 Students selected for the program will take an introductory gateway course and a capstone seminar and project, along with a choice of four electives drawn from a series of preexisting courses across different subject areas. The program, directed by Silk, will be overseen and taught by faculty from both YLS and Yale College. Students will also be encouraged to take on internships related to human rights, and five $2,000 fellowships will be offered by the Schell Center.

Linden-Retek, who sits on the program’s advisory board along with Lockman-Fine, said a critical advantage of the new program is that it will build community around the study of human rights.

“There are wonderful faculty who can provide advising one-on-one,

but it becomes a different experience when you can learn together as a group of Human Rights Scholars engaging with these issues together,” he said.

The interdisciplinary nature of the program was sparked the interest of many undergraduates.

Audrey Luo ’17, a staff reporter for the News, said she would like to use the program as a way of studying different approaches to mental health policy, while Christina Alvarado ’17 said she wants to focus her studies on the topic of genocide and ethnic conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Alvarado said she thinks the goal of program is to create a dialogue on human rights between people from different disciplines and perspectives who all share a common worldview and scope.

But although creating a diverse community of students would be ideal, there is always a risk — at least for the first couple of years — of having a predominance of students from few specific majors, she said.

“It would be really great to get the diversity, but of course it may only be half Political Science and half [Ethics, Politics and Economics] majors,” she said. “I hope the people who are making the selection make sure that there is a [variety] of interests and intersections.”

Applications for the program will be due this November.

The article “New YUAG exhibit explores art from the Roman Empire” article incorrectly stated that restoration of the Gerasa mosaic from the Church of Bishop Paul was completed at Yale’s West Campus Center for Conservation and Preservation. While the treatment was completed at West Campus, it was in fact executed by Yale University Art Gallery employees (Carol Snow and a large team of YUAG art conservators) in YUAG spaces, not the Center for Conservation and Preservation.

Political brawl intensifies

BY ABIGAIL BESSLER STAFF REPORTER The gubernatorial race in Connecticut heated up this summer, and with just over two months until Election Day both campaigns are already on the attack.

Tom Foley, the Republican businessman fighting to unseat Democratic Governor Dannel Malloy this November, easily won the Republican primary earlier this month, declaring in his victory speech, “Dan Malloy has had his chance. Change is coming.”

Economic issues have been at the forefront of both politicians’ platforms so far, with Malloy pointing to Connecticut’s job growth during his term and Foley arguing that Malloy’s large tax raises inhibited a full bounce back from the recession. But political analysts say that as the race continues, it may become a simple question of which candidate can portray the other in the most negative light.

“We’ve had some tough campaigns in Connecticut,” said Ronald Schurin, a University of Connecticut professor of political science. “Whether this will be the nastiest remains to be seen, but it’s already a pretty negative race.”

Just weeks after Foley’s victory in the primary, negative ads on both Malloy and Foley came out, with two coming from super PACs not officially affiliated with either candidate.

Grow Connecticut, a super PAC supported by $500,000 from the Republican Governors Association, funded an ad campaign against Malloy that includes a picture of a Gallup poll showing that 49 percent of Connecticut residents would move to another state. “[Malloy] delivered the largest tax increase in state history,” the video concludes, “No wonder people want to leave in record numbers.”

Another ad, this one directly from the Foley campaign, asserts, “It’s sad Malloy can’t defend his policies that have failed so miserably.”

Not to be outdone, the Democratic Governors Association put $1.25 million into a pro-Malloy super PAC on Monday following a fundraiser with Vice President Joe Biden. The PAC, called Connecticut Forward, recently bought nine hours worth of tele-

vision ads against Foley for a total of $840,000. The first ad shows a video of Foley pointing blame at workers for the closure of a paper mill shut down by an equity firm.

The ad is simply titled: “You’ve Failed.”

Republican Governors Association spokesman Jon Thompson told the Wall Street Journal this week that there will “absolutely be future investments in the race” to back Foley.

The battle to get the most outside spending has led many to compare the race to an arms race.

“It’s the old mutually assured destruction model,” said Cheri Quickmire, the executive director of Common Cause in Connecticut, a group that advocates for greater transparency in campaign spending.

Quickmire said that the amount of outside funding makes this race, “a whole new game,” adding that she expects spending in this election to be greater than it was in Malloy and Foley’s first gubernatorial standoff four years ago.

In that campaign, Foley spent around $11 million out of his own pocket, but Malloy still managed a narrow victory, securing the governorship by just 6,400 votes of a total 1.1 million.

Gary Rose, head of the political science department at Sacred Heart University, said most people will have a hard time distinguishing between super PAC ads and the candidates’ ads. He predicts that most outside spending will go to ads that contrast the candidates — more often than not attack ads.

“The reason being?” Rose said, “They work.”

Though a Quinnipiac poll from May showed Foley and Malloy were initially tied, a New York Times/CBS News poll released at the end of July showed Foley leading Malloy by nine percentage points. Schurin suggested Malloy’s decline in popularity could be a result of a variety of anti-Malloy ads during the Republican primary.

Schurin, who pointed out that money alone cannot guarantee an automatic win, said he hopes spending goes toward more positive ads.

“I’d like to see ads pushing in that direction,” he said. “But I wouldn’t hold my breath.”

TOM FOLEY

With election day fewer than two months away, Governor Dannel Malloy and Republican challenger Tom Foley (above) are neck-and-neck in the polls.

BY LARRY MILSTEIN STAFF REPORTER This summer marked a new beginning for 102 chronically homeless New Haven residents.

The 100-day Challenge is a broad concept created by the nonprofit development consulting organization Rapid Results Institute which aims to catalyze change within a community over the course of 100 days. New Haven leaders applied the challenge to the problem of homelessness within the Elm City, aiming to secure housing for 107 individuals before July 30.

The New Haven effort differed from similar campaigns in that volunteers and staff spanning different organizations joined forces in an effort to reduce redundancies and find long-term solutions.

“What we have found in our work in a variety of contexts is that bridging the gap between aspirations and impact sometimes requires a little jolt to the system,” said Rapid Results Institute founder Nadim Matta SOM ’89. “So we encouraged the system leaders in New Haven to come together and … to do in 100 days things that the community had been talking about for years.”

The challenge targeted chronically homeless individuals in New Haven, a subset of homelessness that is defined as being homeless for over a year, having experienced multiple episodes of homelessness or having faced a serious disability while homeless for a long duration, according to Executive Director of Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness Lisa Tepper Bates SOM ’09.

She said another feature that distinguished this campaign from similar efforts is that rather than leaving the organizational details to only the senior management, individuals “closest to the ground level” took the lead.

“The mid-level team is empowered to pilot systemic changes,” Tepper Bates said. “The idea is that the people who do this work every day … know what could be done to use resources better, more effectively, to reach the shared goal.”

The campaign began with a two-day bootcamp, which helped leaders and staff from agencies including Opening Doors Greater New Haven (ODGNH), United Way, City of New Haven, Columbus House and CT Coalition to End Homelessness learn about the philosophy of the 100-day Challenge and set goals, said Executive Director of Columbus House Alison Cunningham. She added that subcommittees, such as housing coordination, housing matching and housing liaisons were then created to expedite the process.

Matta said the role of the housing liaisons — an individual assigned to each homeless person — was critical since it ensured accountability as each homeless

102 New Haven residents participated in a new effort to address chronic homelessness. person filled out the paperwork and documents necessary for securing permanent housing.

People who do this work every day ... know what could be done to use resources better.

LISA TEPPER BATES SOM ’09 Executive Director, Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness Previous efforts to eradicate homelessness have set thresholds such as sobriety, mental health treatment or employment before allowing homeless residents to gain housing — an approach known as the “housing ready” model. But this campaign operated under a “Housing First” model, which removes all prerequisites to housing, setting it as the top priority.

“What the data tells us is this: the “housing ready” approach is backward,” Tepper Bates said. “Many — if not all — the challenges that someone experiencing homelessness faces are more successfully tackled from a basis of stable housing.”

A final goal of the effort was to shift away from reliance on homeless shelters and secure permanent housing, Matta said. He added that on a psychological level, being in possession of one’s own home is a milestone that gives a person a level of dignity to take agency of his or her life.

Tepper Bates likened temporary homeless shelters to an emergency room

— part of a necessary crisis response. But they are no substitute for housing, she added.

Despite the success of removing 102 individuals from the streets — 43 already in apartments, 59 “matched” to apartments — the campaign faced a series of difficulties in reaching its goal.

Matta noted that one of the largest difficulties was finding rental units and landlords that would accept the voucher subsidies.

“The community needs to restore their confidence that, with the right support, chronically homeless individuals can be good tenants,” Matta added.

Tepper Bates said now that the challenge is over, the next step will be to follow up and institutionalize the changes that were created. She noted that while the first 100-day initiative was a “sprint,” ending chronic homelessness is a “marathon” and the pace must reflect that necessary time and effort.

Compared to other 100-day challenges, New Haven’s numbers were comparable to the pace of cities several times its size, Matta said.

Still, Cunningham concluded that the teams’ work is not yet complete, as there are more people to be housed, and improving the system of care remains an ongoing goal.

“If someone returns to homelessness?

We start over,” she said.

Seven hundred and sixty-seven homeless residents live in New Haven as of January 2013, according to the United Way of Greater New Haven.

Heated rhetoric at Gov’s debate

BY ISABELLE TAFT STAFF REPORTER Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, the embattled Democratic incumbent, traded barbs with Republican challenger Tom Foley in the first debate of the general gubernatorial campaign Wednesday evening.

Ray Hackett, opinion page editor for the Norwich Bulletin, moderated the debate before 400 people at the Norwich Free Academy. The Bulletin hosted the event, one of six or seven debates that will occur before voters head to the polls on Nov. 4. The election is expected to be close, with most recent polls showing Foley a few points ahead of Malloy.

Each candidate had a total of 25 minutes to answer Hackett’s questions and respond to each other’s claims. Hackett asked about ethics, gun laws, education and jobs, sparking especially heated exchanges over education reform and Foley’s management of Bibb Co., a Georgia textile mill that went bankrupt in the 1990s.

Though Hackett noted that the road to Election Day is still long, he said hoped to establish the issues that will define the campaign with the first debate.

“We are not going to decide this race tonight,” Hackett said. “What I would like to do tonight is set the framework … and the tone.”

Based on tonight’s debate, Gary Rose, chairman of the department of government and politics at Sacred Heart University said he thinks the tenor of the campaign will be highly negative.

“It’s obvious that these two gentlemen dislike one another, and not just over policy matters. We’re looking at the tip of the iceberg here in terms of negativity,” Rose said.

Foley accused the governor of using faulty data — “Malloy Math” — to paint a more favorable picture of the economy.

The governor criticized Foley for hedging when Hackett asked whether he would enforce the post-Newtown law requiring owners of assault weapons to

register their guns.

Foley said that he would sign a bill repealing the law, SB-1160, passed in April 2013, but would not actively encourage the legislature to pursue such a bill.

“That was a career politician answer you just gave,” Malloy retorted.

On education, Foley forced Malloy onto the defensive, criticizing the lack of teacher support for Malloy’s reform initiatives, including Common Core.

Later in the debate, it was Foley’s turn to fend off attack when Hackett asked about comments he made in July at a closing paper mill in Sprague. Foley held an event at the mill to explain how he would have enacted policies to forestall its closure when Democratic state senator Cathy Osten arrived and began heckling him, Foley said.

The verbal altercation culminated with Foley appearing to tell workers, “You have failed because you lost these jobs,” a comment now immortalized in Democratic attack ads.

During the debate, Malloy again raised criticism he lobbed at Foley in 2010, blaming him for leading Bibb Co. into bankruptcy and causing job losses.

Foley joked that Malloy seemed to have spent weeks researching the Georgia textile mill instead of focusing on Connecticut.

Ron Schurin, a professor of political science at the University of Connecticut, said he thought Malloy performed better overall, but spent too much time talking about Bibb Co. “He emerged as prosecutorial, and in some respects too prosecutorial,” Schurin said.

Rose said he thought Malloy seemed to be employing a strategy of “class warfare,” painting Foley as elitist by mentioning that he lives in Greenwich and rode in a BMW to the Sprague paper mill.

Absent from the stage was gun rights proponent and Tea Partier Joe Visconti, who recently qualified for the ballot by gathering 7,500 petitions. Unable to speak to the crowd in Norwich, Visconti

“Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.” LEONARDO DA VINCI ARTIST AND INVENTOR

Students protest Corporation verdict

FOSSIL FREE YALE

Students gathered to protest the Yale Corporation’s decision not to divest from fossil fuels.

DIVESTMENT FROM PAGE 1 tational approach in the future.

“The inside game is over. We tried it for two years. It didn’t work. Big and loud is what we have left,” said Patrick Cage ’15, who helped lead a demonstration last spring of nearly a dozen students who were not formally affiliated with FFY or any existing organization but considered themselves concerned Yale citizens.

Yale College Council President Michael Herbert ’16, who also attended the vigil, told the News that some of the new sustainability initiatives seem like positive developments. Still, he deemed Wednesday a disappointing day because Yale chose to go against the “very clearly expressed will of the student body.”

While members of the CCIR acknowledged that climate change poses a grave threat to human welfare, they said divestment or shareholder engagement as a precondition to divestment were neither the right way to address this issue nor likely to be effective.

Yale is not alone in its decision against divestment. Harvard University President Drew Gilpin Faust rejected divestment in a letter to the Harvard community last October. No Ivy League school has divested from fossil fuel companies to date, though Stanford University voted to divest its assets from coal companies this past May. Still, the CCIR expressed support for investor efforts to encourage companies to become more environmentally friendly.

“Yale will generally support reasonable and well-constructed shareholder resolutions seeking disclosure of greenhouse gas

emissions, the impact of climate change on a company’s business activities and products, and strategies designed to reduce the company’s long-term impact on the global climate including through the support of sound and effective governmental policies,” the CCIR’s report read.

The inside game is over ... Big and loud is what we have left.

PATRICK CAGE ’15 Salovey’s email said that during the coming year, the campus-based Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility (ACIR), which serves as a liaison between students and the CCIR, will implement the CCIR’s guidelines when voting on shareholder resolutions.

In an interview with the News, Salovey said the report does not make clear whether the ACIR should take an active role in crafting such resolutions seeking disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions or merely vote in favor of them.

“The ACIR now has guidance from the CCIR and will decide how to respond to that,” Salovey said.

In addition to the ACIR’s actions, Yale’s Chief Investment Officer, David Swensen, will write to Yale’s external investment managers indicating that they ought to take into account the consequences of climate change in their investment decisions. Salovey told the News that

the decision whether or not to make the letter public will be up to Swensen.

Still, Salovey suggested that Yale’s role as an investor is less important than its role as a center for teaching and research when it comes to combating climate change.

“We must stay attentive to what more the University can and should do in its schools, institutes and centers, as well as through University-wide programs,” Salovey’s email read.

Shortly before announcing the decision, Salovey met with members of FFY and the Yale College Council. While members of FFY were happy that the University acknowledged the gravity of climate change and was prepared to reduce its own carbon emissions, they felt that the actions of the University were inadequate.

“We think the things they’re doing are good, but it’s unacceptable that they’re not doing divestment,” said Alexandra Barlowe ’17, Outreach Coordinator for FFY. “We’re here for divestment. We’re not going away. They know that.”

Others expressed even stronger views.

Patrick Reed ’16, a founding member of FFY, said that Salovey was “lecturing us” and that the meeting was a “painful conversation.” He added that the administration “didn’t seem confident in their moral decision.”

In addition, FFY members were unsatisfied with the CCIR’s decision to have Swensen send letters recommending environmentally conscious business practices to the University’s external investment managers.

“It’s a show tactic,” said Project Manager of FFY, Mitch Barrows

’16. “The research has shown that shareholder engagement doesn’t work.”

FFY members also expressed frustration with how they were informed of the decision. Several leaders of the group received an email at 7:00 a.m. Wednesday morning requesting their presence in Woodbridge Hall at 11:30 a.m.

The email announcing the decision was sent out while members were still meeting with Salovey.

In its statement, the CCIR said Yale should continue to be a leader in sustainability and sound environmental practices. However, FFY members who met with Salovey on Wednesday questioned whether Yale would live up to that ideal.

“The documents released today show that Yale is serious about tackling climate change, but only on campus,” Barrows said.

“They’re taking seriously their own greenhouse gas emissions, but when it comes to fighting that problem globally, they’re not taking it seriously.”

In Salovey’s email, he noted that the University is engaged in several projects to advance its sustainable practices. Specifically, the letter outlined six initiatives to reduce

its contribution to climate change.

Those initiatives are a $21 million investment in energy reduction and greenhouse gas reduction, expanded deployment of renewable energy on campus, disclosure of the University’s greenhouse gas initiatives, Green Innovation Fellowships, schoolspecific sustainability goals and the consideration of an internal carbon pricing mechanism.

Salovey has charged a committee, led by economics professor William Nordhaus ’63 and called the Presidential Carbon Charge Task Force, to examine whether Yale can implement an internal carbon pricing mechanism in an effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.

Salovey told the News that he would like to have students serve on the committee. He has asked Nordhaus’ task force to report early next year whether such a mechanism is feasible for Yale.

Salovey added that he considers the University’s initiatives to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions very important.

“Where I think there is complete alignment between various constituent groups is that greenhouse gas emission and global cli-

mate change is the most important issue that faces the world in our time,” Salovey said.

Salovey emphasized that he played no role in the CCIR’s decision, telling the News that he last participated in a CCIR meeting early this spring.

Will Lana, a partner at Trillium Asset Management — a firm that incorporates environmental, social and governance features into its investment process — said that Wednesday’s announcement was unlikely to be Yale’s last word on divestment.

“I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Yale finds itself facing the same question in three, five, 10 years, but making a different decision,” Lana said.

The new CCIR members are Maureen Chiquet ’85 and Peter Dervan GRD ’72. They join Neal Keny-Guyer SOM ’82 and Catherine Bond Hill GRD ’85, who were on the CCIR last year.

Ward 1 co-chair move prompts resignation WARD ONE FROM PAGE 1 Co-chairs also lead their neighborhood’s Democratic Ward Committee and assist their alder — Sarah Eidelson ’12

in Ward 1 — with constituent services and legislative work.

Reached Tuesday, Shapiro said she is in the process of resigning from the ward committee, aware that she is no lon-

ger eligible to serve from outside the district. Students are required to indicate whether they will live on or off-campus by the beginning of April.

Five months later, at the end

ISAAC STANLEY-BECKER/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Ariania Shapiro’s ’16 move off campus means that she can no longer serve as Ward 1 co-chair.

of August, Democratic Town Committee Chairman Vincent Mauro Jr. said he had “heard rumors through the grapevine” that Shapiro had moved outside the ward. He said he has not received an official resignation or even communicated with Shapiro about her eligibility to lead the committee.

Mauro, who was elected committee chairman this spring, praised Shapiro’s ambition; she and Wasserman have already worked hard to energize the ward and assemble students for the ward committee, he said.

Shapiro said she and Wasserman have gathered the names of 47 people, mainly students, interested in being on the committee.

Shapiro said she is disappointed she will no longer be allowed to serve in Ward 1, but that she could not find affordable housing within the ward’s parameters. The ward roughly resembles a square, enclosed by Church, Wall, Park and Crown Streets. Eight of Yale’s residential colleges lie in Ward 1, and the other four are in Ward 22.

Eidelson said in a text message that she believes Shapiro will continue to be involved in politics and the New Haven community. She did not comment specifically on Shapiro’s residency requirement for ward committee membership.

Three other alders interviewed said the Democratic Town Committee bylaws are straightforward in requiring cochairs to live within the ward, a rule alders said ensures they are effectively clued in on residents’ needs.

“It’s the reason co-chair positions exist — to be there, to listen, to work with the ward,” Morris Cove Alder Sal DeCola said.

In Ward 1, where students fill elected positions typically held by permanent residents in other wards, there is a long history of these rules being bent, or at least of accusations that the rules are being bent.

Mike Jones ’11, Eidelson’s predecessor as Ward 1 alder, lived for several months on Howe Street in Ward 2 after graduating and before his term concluded. Though this was technically against the rules, Jones said it did not become an issue.

“As a practical matter, it’s difficult to expect someone to find housing for seven months as an alumnus,” he said, estimating that there are fewer than five off-campus residences in Ward 1.

During last fall’s race between Eidelson and her Republican challenger, Paul Chandler ’14, both candidates were accused of spending too much time outside the ward, Eidelson outside the

city altogether and Chandler on Park Street in Ward 2.

The charge of non-residency reflects the complexity of students holding elected office in a city they inhabit for only four years, during which time they also spend several months away on vacation, said former Ward 1 Co-chair Amalia Skilton ’12. At the same time, she said, rules are rules; most electoral districts are divided along somewhat arbitrary lines.

“My opinion is that people should follow the law. She should resign,” Skilton said. “I wanted to move out of Ward 1 at the beginning of my senior year, and I didn’t. It’s an elected position. If you’ve chosen to run for office, you should remain in the district.”

Mauro said he needs to receive Shapiro’s resignation before he can appoint a replacement, who will serve out the rest of the term.

Wasserman said in an email he will miss Shapiro’s “energy and dedication” but would not answer specific questions about her resignation or the nature of the ward boundaries.

Elections for co-chair positions were held across the city on March 4.

Official warns Ebola outbreak may worsen

BY CLARENCE ROY-MACAULAY AND JONATHAN PAYE-LAYLEH ASSOCIATED PRESS FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — A third top doctor has died from Ebola in Sierra Leone, a government official said Wednesday, as a leading American health official warned that the outbreak sweeping West Africa would get worse.

The disease has already killed more than 1,400 people in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, and Doctors Without Borders warned that the tremendous influx of patients in Liberia, in particular, is overwhelming their treatment centers there.

“I wish I didn’t have to say this, but it is going get worse before it gets better,” Dr. Tom Frieden, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said of the outbreak at the end of a visit to Liberia, where he described the situation as dire.

Liberia has recorded the highest number of cases and deaths of any of the four countries. Doctors Without Borders said in a statement that a new treatment center recently opened in the country’s capital with 120 beds filled up almost immediately.

The tremendous number of patients means that the medical charity is not able to provide those patients with intravenous treatments, a primary way doctors keep people who are losing a tremendous amount of fluid alive.

The group did not mention Frieden’s visit or recent U.N. ones, but it said discussions happening now about international coordination are coming too late and that there are countries that could make a dramatic difference if they provided more expertise and resources. It did not name the countries.

“This is not only an Ebola outbreak - it is a humanitarian emergency, and it needs a full-scale humanitarian response,” Lindis Hurum, the group’s emergency coordinator in Monrovia, the Liberian capital, said in the statement.

Frieden travels next to Sierra Leone, where the loss of a third senior doctor has raised concerns about the country’s ability to fight the outbreak.

Dr. Sahr Rogers had been working at a hospital in the eastern town of Kenema when he contracted Ebola, Sierra Leonean presidential adviser Ibrahim Ben Kargbo said Wednesday.

Rogers’ death marks yet another setback for Sierra Leone, a country still recovering from years of civil war, where there are only two doctors per 100,000 people, according to WHO. By comparison, there are 245 doctors per 100,000 in the United States.

The international surge of health workers is extremely important.

CHRISTY FEIG Director of WHO Communications Health workers have been especially vulnerable because of their close proximity to patients, who can spread the virus through bodily fluids. WHO has said that at least 240 health workers have been infected in this outbreak, more than in any other. One of those is an epidemiologist working with the WHO in Sierra Leone, who has been evacuated for treatment in Germany.

“The international surge of health workers is extremely important and if something happens, if health workers get infected and it scares off other international health workers from coming, we will be in dire straits,” said Christy Feig, director of WHO communications.

A team of two experts was sent Tuesday to investigate how the Senegalese epidemiologist became infected, said Feig. In the meantime, WHO has pulled out its team from Kailahun, where he was working.

The epidemiologist had been doing surveillance work for the U.N. health agency, said Feig. The position involves coordinating the outbreak response by working with lab experts, health workers and hospitals, but does not normally involve direct treatment of patients.

There is no proven treatment for Ebola, so health workers primarily focus on isolating the sick. But a small number of patients in this outbreak have received an experimental drug called ZMapp.

Health officials in Liberia said two recipients of ZMapp in Liberia - a Congolese doctor and a Liberian physician’s assistant - have recovered. Both are expected to be discharged from an Ebola treatment center on Friday, said Dr. Moses Massaquoi, a Liberian doctor with the treatment team.

JERUSALEM — Both Israel’s prime minister and Hamas declared victory Wednesday in the Gaza war, though their competing claims left questions over future terms of their uneasy peace still lingering.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments, delivered in a prime-time address on national television, appeared aimed at countering critics of the war, with both hard-liners in his governing coalition, as well as residents of rocket-scarred southern Israel, saying the war was a failure because it did not halt Hamas’ rocket attacks or oust the group from power.

Masked Hamas militants carrying heavy weapons gave their own address upon the rubble of one destroyed Gaza neighborhood, though their own major demands won’t be addressed until indirect talks with Israel begin again in Cairo.

Israel and Hamas agreed to an open-ended truce Tuesday, with each side settling for an ambiguous interim agreement in exchange for a period of calm.

Hamas, though badly battered, remains in control of Gaza with part of its military arsenal intact.

Israel and Egypt will continue to control access to blockaded Gaza, despite Hamas’ long-running demand that the border closures imposed in 2007 be lifted.

Hamas is seeking an end to the Israeli blockade, including the reopening of Gaza’s sea and airport. It also wants Egypt to reopen its Rafah border crossing, the territory’s main gateway to the outside world. Under the restrictions, virtually all of Gaza’s 1.8 million people cannot trade or travel. Only a few thousand are able to leave the coastal territory every month.

Israel, meanwhile, wants Hamas to be disarmed.

“Hamas was hit hard and it received not one of the demands it set forth for a cease-fire, not one,” Netanyahu said. He said Israel “will not tolerate” any more rocket fire, and would respond “even harder” if the attacks resume.

Addressing the future of Gaza, Netanyahu said that should Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas “choose peace,” he would be happy for the Palestinian leader to regain control of the coastal enclave, which the Islamic militant group Hamas has ruled since it routed Abbas’ forces in 2007. Netanyahu indicated that so long as Hamas was in power, reaching a negotiated solution to the conflict with the Palestinians was impossible.

Critics have said that Netanyahu did not go far enough to topple Hamas and that the war, meant to end incessant rocket fire on communities in Israel’s south, changed little on the ground at the cost of 70 people killed on the Israeli side, all but six soldiers. The war marked the third round of fighting since Hamas seized power in Gaza.

“Both sides did not exactly want this campaign, both sides made all possible errors dragging them into it, and both sides find themselves today returning to square one, where they were at the start of the warfare,” wrote Alex Fishman in the Yediot Ahronot daily newspaper.

Much of the criticism has come from residents of southern Israeli communities, thousands of whom fled their homes to seek safer areas during the war. They complain they have lived under rocket barrages for more than a decade without any change.

Many said they were reluctant to return to their homes, fearing that the cease-fire did not secure an end to rocket and mortar fire on their communities.

“There is a lot of concern and a lot of uncertainty and we want quiet already, but a real quiet, not something bogus and not a cease-fire that lasts just a few days,” Liraz Levy, a resident of Kibbutz Nirim near Gaza, told Israeli television broadcaster Channel 10.

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Netanyahu’s main coalition partner, said that violence would continue if Hamas was not toppled and that the cease-fire would allow Hamas to “grow stronger.”

Hamas also declared victory, even though it had little to show for a war that killed 2,143 Palestinians, wounded more than 11,000 and left some 100,000 homeless, according to Palestinian health officials and United Nations figures.

In Gaza, masked militants gathered on the rubble of destroyed homes in the Shijaiyah neighborhood, site of some of the heaviest fighting, to declare victory. The men displayed heavy machine guns, mortar shells, rockets and anti-tank missiles.

Hundreds of residents gathered around the militants, taking pictures with them and their weapons.

Abu Obeida, a spokesman for the Hamas military wing, stood over an Israeli flag as he addressed the crowd.

“Gaza achieved victory because it has done what major armies failed to do. It forced the enemy to retreat,” he said. “We must know that no voice is louder than the voice of the resistance.”

Life slowly returned to normal Wednesday in Gaza, as traffic policemen took up their positions in streets overwhelmed by vehicles transporting thousands of people back to the homes they had abandoned during the fighting. Harried utility crews struggled to repair electricity and water infrastructure damaged by weeks of Israeli airstrikes.

Yale sailing tops nation

Roberts ’16 steps up

YDN KAMARIA GREENFIELD/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Last season, the Yale sailing teams won the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy, awarded to the top collegiate sailing program in the country.

SAILING FROM PAGE 12 dogs sat in second place in A division while blowing the competitors out of the water in the B division.

By the end of the second day, Yale had won the A and B divisions by 27 and 57 points, respectively, and trounced the closest competitor in the overall standings by 87 points. The victory marked the first time that the Elis had captured the event title in a quarter century.

While the coed team enjoyed championship performances in its two season-ending national competitions, the women’s team finished the season towards the top of the field as well, placing second at the College Sailing Women’s National Championship.

“Clinching two of the three national titles was such an honor for our whole team, but it was a long journey to reach that level of success,” crew Charlotte Belling ’16 said. “We worked so hard to get there, and everyone’s training

and committment really shined in the year’s final results.”

With the second place finish, the Elis left the competition with some hardware, securing the New England Women’s Trophy Due to its performance in the spring season, Yale was awarded the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy for the second year in a row. Nine Yalies were named to the All-American Team.

“We’ll be continuing to work hard to avoid complacency,” Landy said. “We have been fortunate to have an outstanding group of freshmen the past two years to push the returning sailors.

Last year we took a lot of time off before nationals to stay rested, and I think our coaches will continue to find the correct balance of preparedness and rest.”

The Yale squads will add five freshman to its roster of 20 veterans this coming fall season.

No. 19 Morgan Roberts ’16 passed for 339 yards in eight appearances as quarterback last season.

ROBERTS FROM PAGE 12 this summer. We’re much more organized, and I think Morgan has done a nice job in the leadership role with that.”

Roberts was the third-string quarterback for Clemson’s 2012 squad, then the No. 11 team in the country, as a redshirt freshman. He got just one game of playing time, going 2–3 for 20 yards in a game against Ball State.

He then opted to move to a Division I-AA program to play alongside players with more of a team-based mentality, he said. “[Top programs are] so much more cutthroat, so much more of a business,” Roberts said. “Yale is still a business program, without a doubt.

But I think we play for the guy next to us. We play to represent Yale University.”

In his first Eli season, Roberts went 37–71 for 339 yards over the eight games in which he played behind center.

Against Penn, his only start, he

went 20–34 and passed for 193 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions as the team lost 28–17.

“It was probably the worst season I’ve had statistically as a football player,” Roberts said. “That’s probably put on me for not understanding the offense well enough, but I do think the circumstances were a little different, coming in and playing right away. Now I’m well versed with this offense, with the timing of different receivers’ breaks, the speed of play.”

He added that over the past year, he has worked on his footwork and mindset in the pocket.

An athletic quarterback who even took a turn at wide receiver for a game last season, Roberts said that he has learned to be more dependent on his receiving unit.

“I don’t always have to be scrambling in the pocket, I can just throw it out to a guy with a lot of talent and let him do the rest,” Roberts said. “That’s what this offense is about, just utilizing your skill players. That’s how my mindset has changed.”

That improvement will not be seen on the field, however, if the junior quarterback does not see time under center.

Though Roberts has the most experience at the position on the team, Cahill said that the coaching staff is still deciding who will get the starting spot.

Ten quarterbacks are currently listed on Yale’s roster, including six freshmen. Last season, four of the six Eli quarterbacks got time behind center.

“We need to prepare number one, number two, number three, just like any other position,” Cahill said.

“Some guys look better than other guys on certain days, but we need to make sure everyone’s getting the reps. Whoever’s best for the team, that’s the product we’re going to put out on the field.”

The Bulldogs kick off the season Sept. 20 against Lehigh at home.

Volleyball freshmen prepare for campaign VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE 12 All-America selection and was the starting setter for the two-time California Division-II state champion Archbishop Mitty Monarchs.

Gibbons was captain and starting outside hitter during her senior season with Orange Lutheran in Orange County. They were the Trinity League champions and semifinalists in the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Championships.

Truman was named Most Improved Player her junior year at Notre Dame Academy in California, where she also helped her team finish third in the Royal Tournament as a senior.

Rasmussen played at Clear Lake, where she was named a Greater Houston Area All-Star and won the Texas 24-5A Offensive Player of the Year award.

As each of the four fresh faces have bountiful talent and the past performances to prove it, the Yale volleyball coaching staff, as well as fellow teammates, expect nothing but the best from the new recruits.

“Coaches and current members of the team always have high expectations for incoming freshman,” Rudnick said. “Each one of the freshmen has the potential to be a key factor this season, and I believe all members of the team have full confidence in them.”

Crawford, Gibbons and Truman come from the Golden State, while Rasmussen hails from Houston, Texas. The composition of this class is not uncommon — twothirds of the roster is taken up by Californians.

The Elis will have their first three matches at the Yale Invitational and will take opposing sides of the net against Minnesota, Albany and Boston College on Friday, Sept. 5 and Saturday, Sept. 6.

Sailing captures national titles SAILING

BY ADLON ADAMS STAFF REPORTER At the end of exams last year, most Yalies headed around the world for internships or relaxation, their work at school done for the summer. But members of the coed and women’s sailing teams still had jobs to do in May and early June.

This past summer, the squads set a steady course in the postseason to win two national championships and clinch second in a third.

With these performances, the Bulldogs also secured the Fowle Trophy, an honor bestowed on the university that tops the country in sailing.

“I think what really contributes to our success is how deep our team is,” said women’s team captain Kate Gaumond ’15. “The Fowle Trophy really exemplifies that. Regardless of whatever discipline we’re sailing in, we’re very competitive.”

The past two years have been full of success for Yale. This past June, the coed team won the APS Team Race National Championship, earning the Walter C. Wood Trophy, for the second year in a row. Due to their solid performance early on in the competition, the Yale sailors had to win only two of their final six races to take home the hardware.

According to the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association, this victory marked the first time in at least eight years that a team claimed the title before the final four. The Bulldogs maintained a steady lead throughout three days of racing to accomplish the feat.

“I think we put a lot of effort into consistency and a focus on the process of getting better,” said coed team captain Graham Landy ’15. “The team effort pushed everyone to work their hardest and the results showed.”

The next two days of the coed team’s racing consisted of 15 races in St. Mary’s City, Md. at the Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship. After the first day of racing, the BullSEE SAILING PAGE 11

Volleyball retools for title defense

BY ASHTON WACKYM STAFF REPORTER For four consecutive seasons, the Yale women’s volleyball program has brought the Ivy League Championship title back to New Haven. A new class of Bulldogs will now have a chance to do the same.

Roberts ’16 transitions

VOLLEYBALL The women’s volleyball class of 2018 features four new faces: Kelsey Crawford ’18, Kaitlyn Gibbons ’18, Meaghan Truman ’18 and Megan Rasmussen ’18. While the freshman class has only been part of the program for a few weeks, several returning players interviewed said that the class of 2018 has integrated seamlessly with last year’s Ivy Champions.

“One of the great things about the freshmen is that they have already fit into the team dynamic very well,” Captain Mollie Rogers ’15 said. “One of our greatest strengths as a team is our chemistry, and this year’s incoming class has made the transition to college volleyball smoothly.”

Part of the freshmen’s clean transition to Division I volleyball is due to their versatility, according to Rogers and Maddie Rudnick ’15.

They said members of the class of 2018 are capable of playing multiple positions, which raises the intensity of practices and simultaneously develops the skills of both new and veteran members of the Eli squad.

“The freshmen bring countless strengths to the program, from offensive capabilities to defensive strengths,” Rudnick said. “All of them have potential to be a pivotal part of the team.”

Individually, the incoming Elis have the talents to keep Yale at the top of the Ivy League.
