Shouldn't have called this experiment YALE NUS. Now the students feel like...... Should have just named it NUS liberal arts college but with YALE as a consultant supervisor. The separation is going to be painful and no amount of fine words can plaster over the crack. YALE is indeed too big and too prestigious to lend its name to NUS.
The last current batches of Yale NUS students must be treasured as they are the ones who are the quality ones and will be different from standard Spore education............... Current Student says : "My experiences at Yale-NUS were unique and cannot be replicated anywhere else because what we had built was not merely an institution of higher education, but a community of learning in pursuit of the truth and a better world."... The last treasures of Spore.........future students will have to go abroad if they want this type of educational or mindset....
It has to be top-down. If you tell people that such western far-left values are incompatible with Singapore's societal values, they are not going to stomach it. Precisely because of the debates and protests that made western societies so polarised. In the U.S., simple thing like wearing mask is politicised. This is a mistake from the beginning, we tried and should be corrected now. Close it. Move on.
Let’s not forget about the 2019 riots in a certain place by students. Some thoughts have to spark somewhere in someone’s brilliant neural networks, better to stop it before it takes roots.
Maybe the way Yale run it is just too much for NUS to handle. This is again another example of a “elite” top down decision that we all perceive it work so well for Singapore 😜
ahahaha.. obviously the collab would not work, one is an elite institution known for freedom of thought and speech and the other is well... NUS. i wonder who had the bright idea to launch this, probably the next CEO of SPH. anyway, the real victims here are the students.. they are likely bright and much needed talent, but now their degree is devalued.
Means some other students' degrees will be worth more, as the Yale-NUS graduates are disadvantaged or effectively removed from the pool of graduates competing for jobs. Good news. There has never been a dearth of graduates for past three decades, it's always a dearth of jobs. And I refuse to believe every graduate has so much 'talent' unless you are massively devaluing the word.
To save cost. What do you expect? Its happening across JCs/Sec schools. Its just a school name. Move on with your life. Things come and go. Your school is heavily subsidized by taxpayers btw. All fees paid by local students combined will not be enough to sustain your school. Plus there is a declining student population. Don't believe. Go speak to your school finance administrator. And btw do rate your chances of getting a private sector job in Singapore after graduating with liberal arts. Its already challenging enough with a non-liberal art degree. Some things are just meant to be a hobby (btw, i love to read history in my free time). The government is already polite enough to repackage the reason as due to cost.

LOL @ the career consultant. If they can't get a first job , how would they be able to get experience along their career pathway?

Future ready graduates for having difficulty to secure a job in their area of study and instead taking up odd jobs to pay off student loan lol
