NEW HAVEN — An international human rights group is condemning Yale University for agreeing to curb student political activity and organized political protest at its satellite campus in Singapore, slated to open next year.

Human Rights Watch recently took Yale to task for “betraying the spirit of the university as a center of open debate and protest by giving away the rights of its students at its new Singapore campus.” Full story
