Students held a mock cocktail party in Beinecke Plaza on Thursday to “congratulate” President Levin for his $350,000 bonus and “celebrate” the recent $400 increase in expected student contribution toward financial aid. The students offered martinis and distributed 350 flyers during the half hour protest. About two dozen students attended the event, which was coordinated by the Undergraduate Organizing Committee . . .

 I passed economics too, and am also a human. How many people were laid off at Yale last year? That one bonus is enough to have kept 5-10 people employed, departments well-staffed, and students best served. Instead one rich man's jowls keep growing. What value are students getting for that money? A pet campus in Singapore? A pet country in China? Does anyone even know what he is talking about? Earth to Rick: Come back.
