The Yale University campus in New Haven, Conn. By Susan Svrluga Susan Svrluga Reporter covering higher education for the Grade Point blog Email Bio Follow April 19 at 12:00 PM A Yale Law School policy has sparked a heated controversy, with some condemning the rule as discriminating against Christian groups while others praise it for protecting the school’s gay and transgender students.
It is part of a broader cultural debate, but some students and graduates said they believe the issues are particularly pronounced at Yale Law School, where tensions have been raw since the confirmation hearings last fall for Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. Hosie, who described himself as an LGBTQ student from the San Francisco Bay area who graduated from Princeton and studied in the United Kingdom as a Marshall Scholar before coming to Yale Law, said, “I think Sen. Cruz is looking for a convenient political issue to rally support with his far-right base. Attacking Yale for its nondiscrimination policy makes for an easy target.”
Hawley said Yale had suggested it may drop or change the policy. “If it does not, the federal government should strip funding from Yale under appropriate statutes and review Yale’s tax-exempt status,” the senator from Missouri said.
