No Bulldogs in Britain

Brown’s Red Tape is Separating Britain From Its Friends, Yorkshire Post, August 12, 2009. "Yale University is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the United States, and is among its most Anglophile. Its Yale Centre for British Art holds the finest such collection outside Britain's borders. Its Political Union is modelled on those of Oxford and Cambridge. And 'Bulldogs in Britain', which brings Yale students to Britain for a summer internship, is among its most popular programmes. Or rather, it was among Yale's most popular programmes. This spring, Yale was forced to suspend 'Bulldogs in Britain'. The reason? Britain's new visa regulations, which came into force in 2008, made it impossible for citizens of most nations outside the EU to take entry-level jobs or internships in Britain."
