...quick approval which the new rules won from the CEP last Tuesday shows just how effective the HPC's audit technique is. Independent Study has turned into something very different from what administrators had assumed it was, and though the HPC audit of last November didn't say that explicitly, its conclusions clearly showed how the program was hamstrung by outdated regulations. The audits are able to flush out information on just how well programs are working--information which the CEP would not otherwise have. And an audit can turn vague student discontent about any part of Harvard's education...

Under intense Congressional pressure, McNamara finally established such regulations last October...

The CEP confirmed its vote of two weeks ago backing a new department of Visual and Environmental Studies. Details of the new department's structure, already outlined in an HPC audit on the Arch Sci Department, were not specified in the CEP resolution...
