A much shorter flyer would be "We are the Yale police and if we don't get a significant raise - we ain't doing our jobs. Careful walking around at night and sleep tight!"
The top comment...
The fact that private universities in USA are so widespread and even preferred over most public institutions is already mindboggling
And they don't even have to pay property taxes?
In the US - everything about education - especially higher ed - is fucked. Not only do unis have legacy admissions - there are special legacy admissions. Like Harvard's Z-list. If mommy or daddy went to Harvard and have given the uni enough money - their kid gets guaranteed admittance. It's a totally vile situation.

I'm American and I'm mystified why we don't use the abbreviation "uni".
I don't want to sound British. Also, using a slang abbreviation for "university" makes it seem like I must be talking about it all the time and I'm tired of saying the full word, which is definitely not the impression I want to give, especially around people that didn't go to a college or university.
Cuz we call everything college even if it's technically not. Either that or we say the university name directly.
It's especially bad in Yale's case because it's pretty big and right there in the city.
