Sorry if this was posted here before. I looked at first 6 pages and saw no thread on this.
Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi - a former taliban spokesperson is a Yale student now.
http://www.yaleherald.com/article.php?Article=4536
Yet one of this year’s freshmen, 27-year-old Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi ’09, served for years as an Afghani diplomat for the Taliban government. Today he studies Political Science in WLH next to kids fresh out of Exeter.
Hashemi is but one of many older, non-traditional Yalies enrolled in Yale’s Nondegree Students Program, one of two Yale academic programs designed to accommodate students who cannot study full-timedue to other commitments. The other program, the Eli Whitney Students Program, operates under a similar structure but allows participants to graduate with a Yale degree.
More interesting is these pics in NYTimes.
