　　Yale has a long standing tradition of being a welcoming and supportive university for international students, and especially those from China. We are proud to have 600 Chinese students and scholars at Yale this year.

　　We have a policy of protecting students’ privacy and we do not disclose the details of a student grievance but I can say that the University has responded positively to the concerns expressed by Xuemei Han. She is now in the process of transferring to the Ph.D. program in the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.

　　The Dean of the Graduate School will investigate the concerns registered about several other students and, if necessary, take action to ensure compliance with all University policies.

　　Yale is committed to being the best place for international students. We have an extremely generous financial aid package for international students. And all students, including international, who are admitted to any of our Ph.D. programs in the arts and sciences pay no tuition and are given an annual living allowance of at least $18,000 plus free health care.
