Yale Law Library Aquarium Set To Sleep With The Fishes - Above the Law
Briefly

Yale Law School is set to remove its beloved freshwater fish tank after over two decades of service, a decision attributed to budget cuts announced by Law Librarian Femi Cadmus. The tank's removal is seen as bittersweet, especially given Yale's substantial endowment of $1.2 billion and its strong alumni network. Critics argue that funding should be easily accessible for maintaining cherished features like the fish tank, considering the institution's prestige and alumni contributions. This decision reflects broader concerns about fiscal priorities within elite educational institutions.
Law Librarian Femi Cadmus announced the plans to remove the tank due to 'immediate budget cuts', despite Yale's substantial endowment and alumni network.
The freshwater fish tank at Yale Law School, a cherished feature for over 20 years, will be removed as part of budget cuts starting June 2025.
