Unable to pretend to be a full-fledged wire service, the agency is moving to provide what might be called news fragments. A more apt name might be in order: blurb, maybe. Or blip.

In an April 9 Op-Ed in The Crimson, Fineberg explained that because of the complexity of the issue at hand, the University's decision "will not be simple and [is] not apt to be quick."
