Yale University was the only college to be listed among Working Mother magazine’s 100 best companies for its policies to help mothers balance workplace demands with family needs. Among the benefits noted by the magazine: five on-site child-care centers, up to 40 hours of subsidized backup child care annually, and free health insurance for employees who work at least 20 hours a week and earn less than $83,000 a year.

This is commendable for Yale, not so much for academia. Out of a hundred best companies, just one college made it. . . .So, unless you’re at Yale, at least ninety-nine companies, many of them doubtless dedicated to making a profit (so they’ll be around next year), are doing better at this than your school.I’ll bet it doesn’t lower the self-righteousness level any, though.

Trouble with self-nomination process like this, you don’t know if Yale was 100% or 1% of the higher ed institutions that applied. At 600 questions, the application process is not easy to do!
