Dive Brief:

• After Yale University shut down a student-run site that let students plan their schedules while comparing teacher ratings, a Yale student created a browser extension that does much the same thing.
• Meanwhile, the university has acknowledged that it may have reacted too hastily in taking down the site.
• The school also said that because the new browser extension does not appear to violate its policies, it now realizes it needs to review its policies and practices.

Dive Insight:

This story has moved fast. It's gone from the website surfacing on the school's radar, to the university's shutting it down, to a workaround from another Yale student, and now to the university acknowledging it might not have a leg to stand on — all in less than two weeks. And now Yale says it may need to revisit its policies. That is nearly certain to take longer than all of this so far combined.
