Hundreds of Yale students rallied around a cardboard Lipstick replica to oppose a Trump settlement over Yale’s admissions policies and protest restrictions on campus gatherings.

Protesters urged Yale to follow Harvard’s example and fight back against Trump. Cornell, Columbia and Brown have settled, agreeing to pay millions and change policies.

Faculty and students at Yale said they want university leaders to end settlement discussions with the Trump administration over allegations of discrimination in the admissions process.

Students from both schools have in recent months signed letters demanding that Yale not settle with the federal government over investigations into admissions practices. Only the investigation into the School of Medicine has been concluded, however.

In the Yale Corporation’s first in-person meeting of the academic year, trustees met with faculty and student representatives and also spoke with international students. Banners calling for reform of the board’s structure hung across campus.

Three dozen Yale students, professors, and New Haven community members testified before the aldermanic Health & Human Services Committee Thursday evening — and called on Yale to uphold its institutional independence, contribute more to its host city, and reject a potential settlement with the Trump administration over the university’s admissions policies.
