May 15, 2011Yale in Singapore: Lost in TranslationOn March 31, Yale University announced final plans to open its first joint campus, in partnership with the National University of Singapore, to be known as Yale-NUS College. The Web site of the new, yet-to-be-built campus was launched immediately. It features Potemkin-village photographs of smiling students, presumably posing as future Yale-NUS students. So as of now, for the first time since 1701, there will be two Yales. (The old one should henceforth be called "Yale-New Haven," to avoid confusion.)Posted by Jim Zellmer at May 15, 2011 2:26 AM Subscribe to this site via RSS/Atom: Newsletter signup | Send us your ideas Comments
