J.D. Vance, the junior senator from Ohio selected on Monday to be Donald Trump’s running mate, is a graduate of Yale Law School. But you wouldn’t know that from Yale. The Yale Law website makes no mention of the affiliation.
An item published on Tuesday afternoon describes “a reading group on Taylor Swift” organized by current students. A section titled “In the News” meticulously chronicles media appearances by alumni—but in recent weeks has not included a single mention of Vance, 49, who graduated from Yale Law in 2013 and is now just an election win and a heartbeat from the Oval Office.
The main Yale page also displays a telling lack of pride in one of the GOP’s most promising prospects. You can read a news item about how “routine violence shaped European empires,” but nothing at all about the man who may shape conservative politics for years to come.
