Dive Brief:
- Yale University has shut down a student-run site that let students plan their schedules while comparing teacher ratings.
- School officials expressed concern that the site was allowing access to data beyond authorized users and that the Yale logo was being used without permission.
- The brothers who run the site met with the university and made changes they thought would address the concerns, but the school blocked the website.
Dive Insight:
There's a bit of irony here: The software that the school officially uses to help students plan schedules was itself a student-created project that Yale bought out.
