<p>To be sure, the building she was killed in is not a part of Yale College. It is a part of Yale Medical School. Still, the psychological effect is there. Also, the surrounding of Yale Medical School is not as nice as compared to Yale College. (or should I say Yale Bubble?) Many life science majors may go there to do research.</p>
<p>If you are a humanity or social science major, there is zero probability that you will go anywhere near that building.</p>
<p>I think a bigger issue here may be that Yale does not manage these animal technicians well. When you mix PhD candidates with somebody who might be barely graduated from a high school in the same lab, and the latter may have more power than the former just because they (or their “gang” of relatives) are long-time employees there, it is not easy to manage them. (But the technicians are cheap.) Sometimes I feel sorry for these potentially powerless student researchers. Rumor has it that if a researcher gets on the nerve of the technician, the particular mouse his research depends on may be dead the next morning. (I know it is just a rumor, but it could happen, considering how Raymond Clark treated Annie Le.)</p>
