The Yale-NUS Library and the Fabrication Labs will both shift under NUS Libraries' administrative control from next year onwards.

Though denying the rumors that the decision had been taken to shut down Cendana College, Stanfield said that “it’s just logistically challenging to maintain three RCs.”

In an interview with The Octant on August 25th, Dave Stanfield revealed that Yale-NUS will likely reduce the number of residential colleges from Academic Year 2023/2024 as part of a “sustainable staffing plan.”

The demographics of the first NUS College (NUSC) cohort debuted in a report by The Straits Times on Sunday (17 July). The data reveal an inaugural cohort more diverse in some aspects and less in others than the Yale-NUS Class of 2025, the liberal arts college’s final intake.

The first module list for Yale-NUS’s first post-closure academic year offers a reduced number of courses compared to the indicative three-year course lists distributed in February.

As promised when the closure was announced, all of the planned majors and minors will continue to be offered until 2025, but the uncertainty of planning for the next three academic years is difficult.

Eleanor Wong responded to students' concerns about the College's identity being prematurely erased and clarified the use of the name as well as future plans regarding the College's naming and signage. Avery reports.
