Another unfortunate YDN staff editorial: As great an activist as he may be, we are beginning to tire of Jackson's seemingly endless campaign against the so-called evils of Yale...Yale should be mindful of the power its successful investment office wields, and how its practices can and do affect the world around it. But for Jesse Jackson to dictate how Yale manages its own assets is entirely inappropriate. In other words, it's OK for Yale to do the right thing, just as long as it doesn't have to appearance to being a response to demands from New Haveners, students, or any other uppity interlopers. Which is pretty much the message of the Yale Office of Public Affairs as well.
