Yale and Harvard alumni unite for tailgate protest ahead of historic rivalry game

Two alumni groups from Yale and Harvard are teaming up for a joint tailgate before this year’s college football match. The event, organised by Stand Up for Yale and Crimson Courage, aims to promote academic freedom and oppose a proposed policy by former President Trump. Supporters hope the gathering will draw attention to their cause while bringing together fans before the ncaa football scores. The tailgate will take place ahead of the annual Yale-Harvard football clash, a fixture Yale has dominated for the past three years. Organisers plan to serve lemonade and snacks alongside a call to action on academic freedom. They have also invited Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal to attend. The tailgate will combine college football tradition with advocacy, offering alumni a way to support academic freedom. With high-profile backing and a growing volunteer base, the organisers aim to make an impact before the game. The event also marks a rare collaboration between rival universities on a shared cause.
