Yale University's president, Maurie McInnis, has acknowledged that the institution contributed to the erosion of public trust in higher education. A committee formed last April released a report with 20 recommendations to address the issue. The report suggests making Yale more affordable by raising the income limit on the 'no tuition' guarantee and reducing preferences for certain groups of applicants in undergraduate admissions. The committee also recommended promoting intellectual diversity by examining the breadth of intellectual and methodological commitments in each department and school. Additionally, the report proposed putting course percentiles on students' transcripts to combat grade inflation and creating a 'civic education initiative' for first-year students. The university is expected to implement some or all of these recommendations.
