In June 2011 the National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management gathered a select group of leading supporters of Catholic schools at Georgetown University for two days to provide action-oriented recommendations about Catholic schools. It was a gathering of thought leaders from a diverse set of backgrounds, deliberately crossing boundaries of fields of expertise and influence so that the problems facing Catholic schools today would receive attention from combinations of people never before gathered on behalf of Catholic schools.

  • Yale University 2019 AAU Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Misconduct
    Yale University 2019 AAU Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Misconduct Yale University 2019 AAU Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Misconduct: Introduction and Key Findings Stephanie Spangler Vice Provost for Health Affairs and Academic Integrity University Title IX Coordinator I am writing to provide the Yale community with an overview of the Yale-specific find- ings from the 2019 AAU Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Miscon- duct (the Survey). Like its 2015 predecessor, the Survey was organized by the Association of American Universities (AAU) and conducted by Westat, a nationally recognized research organization. The Survey, which was offered to undergraduate, graduate and professional students at Yale and 32 peer colleges and universities during the spring of 2019, collected information about students’ experiences of sexual misconduct and their perceptions of the campus sexual climate. It also included questions about community engagement, bystander intervention behavior, and students’ use of campus resources. Our goals in offering the Survey were to expand our information about the prevalence of sexual misconduct on our campus; to assess the impact of our efforts since the 2015 survey; and to use the Survey data to inform our ongoing initiatives to combat sexual misconduct and foster a campus culture in which all students feel safe, respected, and supported. We are extremely grateful to the students who participated in the Survey. Thanks to their generosity we now have a deeper understanding of what is happening on our campus and a powerful guide for future action. In reviewing the findings in the 2019 survey alongside Yale’s 2015 survey results, we see some signs of progress in addressing sexual misconduct at Yale.

  • Levin, Salovey, and the Mess at Yale
    Acad. Quest. (2019) 32:56–65 DOI 10.1007/s12129-018-9760-y COLLEGE PRESIDENTS Levin, Salovey, and the Mess at Yale Nathan Harden Published online: 12 January 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Peter Salovey is a nice man, a well-liked man. He arose to his current position as President of Yale University, no doubt in part, due to his amiable personal qualities. In my days as an undergraduate, he was the affable Dean of Yale College, with a face partially obscured by a bushy avuncular mustache. Salovey never fit the profile of the detached, eminent Ivy League administrator reigning down from on high. Instead he was eminently approachable. He was known for playing the banjo in an all-faculty bluegrass band. He published research on emotional intelligence. He gave off sensitive dad vibes. Salovey shaved his mustache a few months after I graduated. But I am sure his approachable personality remains intact. When members of the Yale Corporation—the governing board of the university—looked for a new president in 2012, they could hardly be blamed if they felt they needed a sensitive man for the job. Being president of Yale these days means presiding over ground zero for our nation’s oversensitivity crisis—centered on racial, political, and sexual identity. Welcome to twenty-first century Yale: Linguistic twister has replaced the Harvard-Yale game as the most exciting sporting event on campus. The halls reverberate, not with the crooning of the Whiffenpoofs, but with the anguished cries of our national grievance culture.
