This YDN piece on access to childcare for teaching assistants and clerical and technical workers shares good news about the University's announced plans to respond to the overwhelming demand for progressive change in that arena. It's undercut, however, by a bizarre title that obscures that an old plan folks were dissatisfied with is being changed and makes it look like the story is just that folks are now happy with daycare opportunities. Most of the quotes, incidentally, suggest not that workers are "laud[ing]" the new plan but that they're glad to see movement from Yale and hope its proposal will represent real change. That's where I fall as well.
