My neighbor is a vocal instructor and she’s awesome. Her music was featured on a few Netflix shows recently — super talented. DM me and I can share her contact info. We are on the shoreline but she does zoom classes too.

Good point. The very top performers would leave, but I imagine many undergrads with less in-demand majors might stay. Whether their training would add much to the city’s development is hard to say, but I imagine it would still be significant and positive.

Some others have mentioned in this thread — (1) they are an order of magnitude short on tax payments, by yales own calculations (2) PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) to keep grads in the area, (3) partnering with local govt (housing authorities, etc) and NGOs to share expertise pro bono. The law school does this in the form of legal clinics — many other departments can do the same. Just some ideas.

Yale health vs Yale university are totally different beasts. Yale university attracts good faculty but they often leave because 1) tenure rates are low 2) limited job options for spouses. I don’t have stats but just know the system

Glad your son is doing well! I understand that. It’s not their responsibility, you’re right, unless they were otherwise extractive in their presence here. Which they don’t seem to be, but I wasn’t sure.

I don’t think any reasonable person would say it’s bad. But I feel there’s a disconnect between having such a high concentration of talent on the doorstep of a city that could desperately use it

Interesting, thanks for this perspective. I didn’t consider that the out migration of talent might be just fine.

There’s still something that rubs me the wrong way about so many talented social scientists and public policy graduates being totally detached from a city that could use that expertise. It’s like there’s an aversion to applying what they’ve learned right on their doorstop

I agree with most of what’s been said about Yale attracting talent — but I think it’s a shame that almost none of the students stay here after graduating. Just think how NH could be if Yale invested more in developing it — partly for selfish reasons, so they also don’t lose staff and faculty to universities in more attractive cities.
