'''Yale University,''' located in New Haven, [[Connecticut]], is the third oldest university in the United States (after [[Harvard]] and [[College of William and Mary|William and Mary]]).  Yale is one of the most [[liberal]] schools in the [[Ivy League]], known in particular for its radical [[feminism]] and its promotion of the [[homosexual agenda]].  [[Hillary Clinton|Hillary]] and [[Bill Clinton]] are graduates of Yale Law School.

 

{{cquote|A Yale Daily News survey of freshmen students at that university found that more students of the class of 2022 identify on the [[LGBTQ]] spectrum than as [[conservative]], and that queer freshmen even outnumber other sizable demographics in the class, such as [[Protestant]]s and [[Catholic]]s.}}

 

Yale has engaged in cancel culture before, such as when they renamed Calhoun College (one of their residential colleges) to Grace Hopper College simply because Calhoun owned slaves. This is despite the fact that Calhoun was valedictorian at Yale and was named by John F. Kennedy as one of the five most important Senators in US history. Ironically, the university itself was named after the notorious [[slave]] trader Elihu Yale,<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/conservative-pundit-mocks-cancel-culture-with-tweets-urging-yale-to-change-name-for-slave-trade-link</ref> in spite of the fact that Jeremiah Dummer had more to do with the creation of the university. This has prompted some conservatives to suggest re-naming the entire university "Dummer University".<ref>https://intellectualtakeout.org/2020/06/cancel-yale-and-rename-it-dummer-university/</ref> Yale also produced a high percentage of pro-[[slavery]] clergy,<ref>https://www.nhregister.com/colleges/article/Yale-other-colleges-facing-backlash-of-buildings-11329471.php</ref> and did little to combat racism in [[Connecticut]], which was long the most racist state in [[New England]].

 

In 2022, Yale received the ignominious "Lifetime Censorship Award" from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).<ref>https://www.thefire.org/10-worst-colleges-for-free-speech-2022/</ref>

==History==

Yale was heavily oriented toward undergraduates until 1919, when under President Arthur Hadley (1899-1921) and James Angell (1921-37) it moved rapidly to become a full-scale university. It isolated the undergraduates into separate residential "colleges" taught primarily by a separate faculty, while the big-name professors concentrated on research and gradate-level professional training.

Yale College was founded in 1701 to train ministers; after the Civil War it became the first university in the United States to award a Ph. D. degree. The University was given its name to honor benefactor Elihu Yale, who donated a substantial amount of goods for sale and books during the early years of the institution, which was then named the Collegiate School. It is a member of the [[Ivy League]], and, with Harvard and [[Princeton University|Princeton]], part of the group known as the Big Three or HYP, which are associated both with academic excellence and with social prestige.
