[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Yale protest thing is being totally overblown here (and by David L.).  I talked to friends that are professors there, and they said it was not a big deal like the press is making it seem.[/quote]

That’s just one incident. The treatment of the student who wrote the “trap house” email?  The students are bad, but the Yale Law Administration’s handling of these incidents is worse.

Unlike most reporters who covered the Amy Chua saga, Liz Breunig actually did some reporting and talked to the students involved. The Yale Law Administration has tried to ruin the careers of students who wouldn’t file complaints against Amy Chua.

Yale Law School is a funny place: Everyone you talk to says they’re there more or less for charity work, but somehow the graduates keep getting rich and famous. While we all contemplate that mystery, the Guest and the Visitor will be contemplating something very different—how to recover from this strange turn of events. The Guest, whose only documented offense was visiting Chua to talk about his run at the Journal, withdrew his application for the Coker fellowship, and applied for no clerkships. The Visitor quietly accepted one fellowship, and likewise declined to seek any clerkships, reasoning along the same lines as the Guest. What else could they have done? It takes an admirable perceptiveness to know when the truth can’t save you anymore.[/quote]

+1.  It's been a series of Yale/faculty/yale law school craziness over the last few years.  Employers and judges are taking note.  If you are runing a blue chip law firm you don't want SJW lawyers[/quote]
