Protests Shook Yale a Year Ago. Here’s What Has Changed Since.

Yale University history major Graham Ambrose writes: One year after protests about race erupted at Yale University, much has changed: A $50 million initiative to draw and retain diverse faculty has begun, a new academic center for the study of race and ethnicity has opened, and funding for Yale’s four cultural centers — which serve students of African, Asian, Latino, and Native heritage — has doubled. For many students, those investments represent hard-fought victories after a year of activism to make the Ivy League university more inclusive. But others say the school is more divided than ever, with the protests widening the gulf between groups.
