“Yale College Dean Marvin Chun said that while he is very excited by the conversations about how public art around campus can reflect Yale’s mission, he is also committed to historical preservation.
“’In the case of portraits on display in the residential colleges, I think it’s important to keep them hanging, both for preserving the colleges’ histories and for honoring the intentions of alumni, fellows and friends who generously commissioned these portraits,’ Chun said. ‘The two goals of reflecting Yale’s community today and honoring its past are not mutually exclusive.’”

Some Yalies with big check books must have called and said, “WTF do you think you are doing?”
