Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway Leaving for Northwestern

HeadlineNov 22, 2016

And in New Haven, Connecticut, Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway has announced he’s leaving Yale to become the provost of Northwestern University next year. Holloway is the first African-American dean in Yale’s 315-year history. He was at times at the center of racial justice protests by students on campus last year, with many students of color looking to Holloway for leadership and with some criticizing him for not doing more to address racism on Yale’s campus. On Monday, Holloway said he was not leaving Yale because of the protests, saying instead, “Even though the protests were profoundly uncomfortable and at times heartbreaking, I’d rather be at a place where the students cared enough to speak up and take action.”
