...Fortunately, there is a movement afoot to restore the sense of unity to the Harvard community that Higginson championed. The Student Community Center Campaign, sponsored by the Undergraduate Council and endorsed by a broad coalition of students, student groups, and alumni, has taken great steps in the recent months to actualize this long-desired development for student life. It has drawn up building plans with a local architect, incorporated a non-profit foundation to oversee the project’s development, held high-level meetings with the administration, and convened a Campaign Advisory Council of student groups and a Board...
...chief of staff and other top lieutenants this year as high as 15% while calling for a 5% pay cut for county workers. Alvarez spokesperson Victoria Mallette says the raises resulted from a 2007 referendum that gave Miami-Dade's mayor, until then a relatively weak post, broad new powers that in turn thrust heavier duties on his staff. She also notes that Alvarez actually cut his office's budget last year by almost 15% and that he helped build an $80 million reserve fund. Still, a Herald editorial called Alvarez's raises "irresponsible." Watchdogs like Valladares complain that Miami...
...Reacting to Bezruchka's analysis, economists note several important caveats. First, mortality rates are a broad-brush health measurement and do not take into account nonfatal illnesses or fatal illnesses that take several years to develop, such as cancer. Furthermore, a study published in recent months contradicts the findings Bezruchka focuses on, suggesting that recessions are at best neutral in their impact on mortality. Writing in the Lancet in July, a team of American and British researchers said it found that the decrease in traffic deaths during recessions in Europe between 1970 and 2007 was offset by increases in suicides...
...expansive range of time studied. Americanist art history traditionally ends at 1945, after which point artwork is considered within the realm of the contemporary, according to Kelsey. But Roberts challenges the demarcation by intertwining the contemporary moment and the art and social histories of the United States. The broad spectrum of Roberts’ work is especially apparent in her first book, “Mirror-Travels: Robert Smithson and History,” which developed from her dissertation at Yale. The book examines how the work of land artist Smithson “absorbed, transformed, and sometimes refused...
...Somerville.McArdle said that despite the potential benefits of relocating the four clinics—a “cost-neutral” move—ultimately the reorganization was prompted by the budget cutting process. These decisions were made now because the Law School had to take a broad look at its clinical programs, she said. But some believe that even if students find it easier to participate in clinical services, they will not necessarily extract the same experience that they would have if they were actually working in the community. “If you look at the history...
