Financial Sit-In at the Admissions Office

At 10:25 this morning, a group of 15 Yale undergraduates entered the Admissions Office at 38 Hillhouse Avenue, seeking a commitment from Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Richard Shaw and University President Richard Levin to give significant monetary increases to both the student and family contributions. We will not leave until this reform happens. This is the live update from inside the office. We have spoken with Dean Shaw, who has said that he "concurs" with many of the reforms we demand and has relayed our concerns to President Levin. We are continuing to contact President Levin to relay our demands that he come talk to us and agree to reform to both the self-help and parent contributions. Please help out the effort and call Levin's office yourself at (203) 432-2550. If you are press, please get in touch with Josh Eidelson, a student inside the office, at (203) 430-2327.
