University President Drew G. Faust began yesterday’s meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences with a 10-minute address on the effects that the recent downturn in the financial markets might have on Harvard. The remarks, moved up to occupy the spot in the meeting agenda normally reserved for the business of the Dean of the Faculty, emphasized that, despite being the world’s wealthiest institution of higher education, Harvard would not make it through the downturn completely unscathed.

The changes come as a response to what Client Technology Adviser Noah S. Selsby ’94, the author of the e-mail, called the College’s “outcry for a new e-mail system.” The message, sent to several students in campus leadership positions, states that the new system will be armed...
