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.”
