Okay, I saw the video, and it shows a fairly noisy confrontation.
The statement from Yale also says that once the free speech policy was read to the students they dispersed and the event continued, although the video stops before that happens. This makes me suspect that someone is editing the video with the intent of giving an inaccurate impression of what happened.
When I was a left-wing student at one of the top law schools in the country we did not attempt to disrupt speakers we disagreed with, even when Gerald Ford came to speak there. I do not think it's a credit to these students to attempt to prevent this event from happening, but I also think the story from Fox is distorting what happened.

Fact-checking news "sources" like these is important.

That's a tidily sanitized version of the story. The disruptive students most certainly did not head straight for the door once read the policy. Per the video the Fox story is much more in line with what happened than Yale's marketing-like follow up.
I get that it's in the collective leftist DNA to squelch the speech of anyone who does not fall in line with current orthodoxy. It's gutless, anti-intellectual, dangerous and common.
THE CODDLING OF THE AMERICAN MIND In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don’t like. Here’s why that’s disastrous for education—and mental health.
This will just contribute to future civil conflict when these freaks become judges and decide that Whites and Asians have no rights whatsoever, everyone has to pretend that chicks with wangs are really women, speech is violence, and all of the other nonsense that they believe to be fact.

I guess that day will happen on some other planet. Won't happen here.
Is this what the future holds for the law? Footing a bill at Yale $$$$ and brainwashing the future lawyers?
An incredible lack of maturity and restraint (perhaps, at least relative to school policy) is hardly indicative the future of law is at stake. To the contrary, the freedom to dissent is at the core of free speech, particularly relative to college campuses i.e. it’s what students do/have done for decades, lol.
That said, re: ‘brainwashing’ - you’re thinking of a cult, not college. :-)
