Yale University Cuts Ties With the Sacklers Over Opioid Disaster
Yale is severing ties with the Sackler family, the founders of pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma, which has donated millions of dollars to the university.
“In 2021, the University made a decision to pursue a separation from the Sackler name and has been actively working on specific plans consistent with that decision which we expect to announce soon,” Yale spokesperson Karen Peart told the Yale Daily News.
Purdue Pharma has also endowed two professorships and a program in the sciences at Yale.
The prestigious school joins a raft of other institutions that have cut ties with the Sackler family due to Purdue Pharma’s role in the opioid epidemic, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, Columbia University and the Tate Group.
