Yale University School of Medicine
Introduction
This medical school was established by a state charter
granted to Yale College in 1810. Subsequently, faculty
members, local physicians, and other citizens raised
funds that resulted in the New Haven Hospital, which
served as a place to train medical students. In 1965 the
hospital and the university became affiliated. The
School of Medicine is a component of the Yale-New
Haven Medical Center that also contains the School of
Nursing and Yale-New Haven Hospital.

I worked in the building that incident occured in last summer...it's not a problem with the security, they patrol the place and since then have increased security..but the late night access the researchers/techs have is a problem

I agree but this is not something we should harp on yes they should improve their security but we need worry about making sure we stay safe until they can do so get in school organizations going have students become apart of security commitee after starting one and then join and give students non-lethal weapons that might be able to help them and this is only for those that are apart of the committe. but you should improvise you know on the weapons but you could at least start a commitee or reccommend it to the staff or the higher school authorities.

no doubt this is a great school, but the recent incident about the grad student indicates that the security provided to the students must be improved. It is really sad that a school of this reputation could loose a student on account of improper security measures
