[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP asks if Yale has become a joke?  Never.  And there will continue to be significant applicants of all races and creeds.  That includes all the other top tier colleges also.

So, folks can say they would never attend Yale or the like and say they will never hire anyone from Yale.  But there will be tons of companies that will hire them, and there will be tons of students applying to Yale, etc.

I doubt the unfortunate Yale incident will impact admission because Yale still offers an excellent education.  And that's the bottom line.[/quote]

Well, [b]that's what YOU believe.[/b]

I happened to work in brand marketing for a while, and events like this can change the "Yale" brand. This is going to make Yale more attractive to students ad employers interested in social studies and politics, and less attractive to essentially everyone else.

It's not that Yale is becoming a "joke," but certainly it can become less competitive than other universities in attractring those interested in the traditional "higher learning".[/quote]I doubt even if this happened at Harvard, their name brand would be tarnished with fewer applicants.  Doesn't matter you work in marketing.  Harvard and Yale have been around for a few centuries with quite a few ugly moments (including a recent cheating scandal at Harvard), and they continue to have 'em lined up at the door for every single division.

Very eloquently stated. Pity the world doesn't work that way -- ask the Catholic Church.[/quote]
