The Yale Daily News is reporting that John Fund’s Monday claim that the Yale Taliban’s degree status is still in limbo and that Yale president Richard Levin has taken control of that decision away from the admissions office is being denied by Levin, and that the fate of Rahmatullah Hashemi’s application to be admitted as a student working towards a degree still lies in the hands of the admissions committee. He is currently a “special student” with no official diploma in sight.
