On April 11, 2025, President McInnis formed a Committee on Trust in Higher Education. Its charge was to draw on the knowledge and experience of experts, citizens, and scholars—including members of the Yale faculty—to better understand public perception and envision ways of strengthening trust in higher education. The committee engaged the Yale community as well as its outside critics and invited external experts with varied viewpoints and backgrounds to provide perspective and to weigh how best to address the erosion of trust in higher education. It explored possibilities for enhancing the open exchange of ideas on campus, in the classroom and beyond.
The committee has completed its charge and issued a report.
