The headline in the print edition gave us two words for the act Yale has performed upon Broadway. One of the stories, by Yale beat reporter Ed Stannard, ran just over 3,000 words.



The headline cleverly merges the city and the region as if the divided politics of the two in real life isn’t one of the big problems about urban policy in Connecticut. The stories hung under the massive blue headline IVY + ELM, a photo of the Sterling Memorial Library and the text: Yale pumps more than $2B a year into city, region. You could read in the paper what the cops and the secret service were telling you in the street through barricades and wags of the finger. Sunday’s edition of the New Haven Register featured a front page with two stories both running several thousand words in length about what a great place Yale is, and what the school has done for New Haven. Ethnic and economic cleansing was the desire as well as the result. An article in Sunday’s paper, however, laid bare the racism at the heart of Yale’s machinations. This was at the very least the result, if not the outright goal, of the University’s buying up of most of the property on the block. It’s been a pastime of many in New Haven to complain that Yale’s recent restructuring of the Broadway strip has been to effectively keep the non-White and poorer populations of the predominantly Black Dixwell neighborhood away from Yale. I was on the corner of York Street and Broadway when Biden’s motorcade happened to pass. The interchange of I-91 and I-95 was completely closed for a full half hour to allow for the escape of Joe Biden, who had addressed the graduating class. The day was marked by the full closure of several blocks of downtown, massive police presence, and sun dresses.

The day is more properly called commencement, and refers to the time when Yale graduates commence the part of their lives when they don’t live in New Haven.
