<p>soozievt: I do understand that just being a graduate student doesn’t make some one more mature or responsible but the college has a policy where an undergraduate student can’t be given responsibility of the lab on their own.</p>
<p>It’s to deter the possibility that there is no technical difference in a 17/18 year freshman undergraduate and 21/22 year old senior undergraduate. </p>
<p>So Yale has shown irresponsibility by allowing an under graduate student to be alone in the lab at 1 A.M. Yale has the resources to provide round the clock supervision which a community college won’t have just because of the lack of the funds.</p>
<p>Yale charge students $40,000 instead the $1000 charged by community college. Yale can’t escape by saying a 22 year old undergraduate is no different from a 22 year old graduate student. An undergraduate is an undergraduate and Yale should have been more responsible in the safety of these students inside the labs.</p>
<p>Survival rate of children in African countries is very less compare to USA because of the facilities. If today a child die of malaria in USA then it’ll be a big news because it should not happen. USA can provide the basic immunization to its children.
Similarly Yale has ample resources to provide such safeties and should be hold responsible for this accident.</p>
