Chua did not lead a small group last year, after she was confronted by law school Dean Heather Gerken with having students to her house. She denied that she violated the Yale guidelines for pandemic gatherings and said she withdrew from the group. Her disagreement with the law school made national news, but other professors said they kept to the university rules despite the difficulty.

David Starbuck, a local archaeologist, historian and professor who devoted his life to unearthing the regionâs history, died Sunday following a monthslong battle with pancreatic cancer.
Starbuck was best known locally for leading numerous archaeological digs over the decades at Fort William Henry and Battleground Park in Lake George and Rogers Island in Fort Edward.
His work helped reveal the historical roots of the region, where key battles of the French and Indian War and War of 1812 played out.
He died at Glens Falls Hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment for stage 4 pancreatic cancer since last summer.
