at a school ranked in the top 25 by US World & News Report, I had a hearty dislike for University Disciplinary Committees. This one tended to bend over backward for their Division III athletes. They also treated women unfairly when it came to claims of sexual assault and harassment.

They also treated students from different levels of family income differently. We busted a group of students for stealing over $55,000 worth of computer equipment. One student was from an influential family from New Jersey. He was put on probation and allowed to graduate. Another student was from a lower middle class family, he was expelled, and within 2 years he had committed suicide.

Who was the ringleader, you got it, the kid from New Jersey.

I was overjoyed to see what I believe was the right decision at Yale.
