Isn’t the admission of Nathan Chen consistent with the philosophy that a college creates a well balanced class not by admitting well balanced students, but by admitting students who all excel in different realms? Having an Olympic medalist, and one of the best ever in a high profile sport, fits that bill. He will fill Yalies of every generation with pride whenever he takes the ice. I strongly suspect he is academically qualified to be there. Frankly, I have trouble understanding at all how anyone might begrudge him his slot at Yale.
