Yale Comments on Psychiatrist's Lecture on White People

Yale University said that the views of a psychiatrist who lectured at the university's medical school in April were “antithetical to the values of the school,” The New York Times reported. Yale also restricted access to a video of the talk by Aruna Khilanani. In her talk, Khilanani said she had fantasies of shooting white people. She also said of white people, “There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil.”

Khilanani said in an email Saturday that her words had been taken out of context to “control the narrative.” She said her lecture had “used provocation as a tool for real engagement.”
