ABVA’s resolution on LGBT Studies, Yale University

 

ABVA at its meeting on 06 June, 2021 passed the following resolution:

 

“a. That LGBT Studies, Yale University stands blacklisted in view of its attempt to steal/hijack/subvert the collective work of ABVA, New Delhi, India.

 

  b. That recourse to other methods of redressal including legal ones would be initiated if Yale University fails to rectify its mistakes.”

 

Developments leading to this resolution have been documented in:

Yale University in stealing the collective work of ABVA has carried forward the legacy of the infamous Elihu Eli Yale, after whom it is named, except that in the instant case it is our intellectual property that is stolen by Yale University. Elihu Eli Yale had in the eighteenth century donated a huge sum to Yale University (then known as the “Collegiate School”) out of the ill-gotten wealth made by him in South India.  So the loot continues!
