Clint Taylor has an interesting piece about his former Yale professor James Van de Velde, and how Yale jettisoned him for being a suspect in a murder, despite the lack of any evidence tying him to the killing.
Seems a little trumped-up.
Maybe he’d have been better off if his real-world experience had been with the Taliban, rather than the George H.W. Bush Administration.

Fascinating and tragic story. Having read all the links about the victim, it sounds like an intruder to the neighborhood. A mention of a man and woman fighting, right around the time another student had talked to the girl, is the only clue to connect it to the Yale guy.
Outside of a possible affair, there’s nothing in the various articles to implicate the professor. Why wouldn’t he sue for defamation or wrongful termination…

My own observation of behind the scenes at a liberal campus was essentially a big charade (by very nice people) promoting the idea of diversity, as long as it matched their pro-minority, ultra liberal way of thinking. I was not enrolled but still harbored ideas of writing a dissertation on something like The White Man’s Contributions to Complex Infrastructure. Just to work with a committee and have them face the reality.
