Yale Admissions & Sexist Email Problem

Does anyone know why “Admissions” is in the title of this post? It doesn’t occur the text and it doesn’t occur in either article.

Colleges are extremely careful when it comes to such things, and it seems to me that Yale has tried to find out who sent the email. Obviously, and almost certainly for very good reasons, many people are not satisfied with the fact that no action has been taken against the author(s), but this sort of thing has to be handled with care–the possibility of erroneous “identification” is a serious concern.

Finally, although the fact that people who would do such a thing are on virtually every college campus–and have been for years–is of little comfort, it does mean that there is hardly any alternatives to Yale where it couldn’t happen.
