Yale University will offer massive open online courses, known as MOOCs, for the first time next January, the Yale Daily News reported Saturday. The university will partner with Coursera, a MOOC platform used by Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania. Under the model, students will be able to sign up for free, six- to 15-week courses in a variety of disciplines, including art history and economics, and will be taught by Yale professors. Students who take the courses will not receive credit and the partnership reflects the university's plan to explore new teaching strategies that can be used outside of a physical classroom. With this announcement, Dartmouth is now the only Ivy League institution not involved in a MOOC partnership.

The Education Department fined Yale University $165,000 for failing to report four incidents of sexual assault in 2001 and 2002, the Yale Daily News reported. Yale will pay $27,500 for each incident, plus additional fines for not including certain policy statements and information from the Yale-New Haven Hospital in its crime data. Omitting such information violates both the Clery Act and the Campus Crime Statistics Act. The department began its investigation in 2004 after an article in the Yale Alumni Magazine raised concerns about Yale's compliance with the Clery Act and found the university guilty of noncompliance in 2010. University spokesperson Tom Conroy said Yale asked the department to reconsider the fine.

A study published in Addictive Behaviors Journal showed that high-risk drinkers white, male and Greek-affiliated are more likely than others to participate in dangerous drinking games, Inside Higher Ed reported. The study found that roughly 70 percent of college students played at least one drinking game in the past month. The majority of the students had played either a competitive drinking game or a drinking game involving little skill or strategy. Greek-affiliated male students tend to play more competitive drinking games, while female, unaffiliated students tend to play chance games, or those that involve little strategy. Study co-author Joseph LaBrie said that college administrators should focus more heavily on addressing drinking games when discussing alcohol-related issues on campus.
