Construction

Pauli Murray, the namesake of the college

In 2008, Yale University President Rick Levin announced that the college had the resources to educate more students and thus would expand its enrollment by opening two new residential colleges for a total of fourteen.[3] In April 2016, the university announced that the colleges would be named after Pauli Murray and Benjamin Franklin.[4]

Pauli Murray College will be the northern of the two new colleges,[5] referred to as "North College" in some earlier documents.[6]

Leadership

On July 6, 2016, the university announced that Tina Lu, Professor of East Asian Languages and Literature, would be the first head of Pauli Murray College.[1]
