The Yale University Scholars at Risk Committee advised the university leadership on how Yale can best provide a temporary professional home and a welcoming community to scholars, practitioners, and artists facing persecution or unsafe conditions in their previous location.
The committee has completed its work, and Yale has expanded efforts to protect scholars at risk.
