Those who argue for a later declaration date have argued that 12 to 16 concentration requirements sufficiently prepare students who plan to go to graduate school and enter academia, but such requirements unnecessarily force students with broader academic interests and non-academic career goals to dedicate too much coursework to a narrow field. But Harvard is, after all, an academic institution, and its curriculum should focus on providing students with an education oriented in a specific academic direction.

...rise of the hacker as extortionist reflects a broader change in hacker culture.

The changes...
