In the White House, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and Congress, a growing number of policymakers are asking why the U.S. has to concern itself with gold at all, and whether the world's richest nation might not be wise to cast its currency loose from a metal that Lenin once said was fit only to build public toilets.

They have profound effect in terms of defining the academic reputation of the college. In addition, whereas decisions affecting House life could be easily reversed under the above plan, mistakes in the academic category are often harder to rescind, since they may have involved the hiring of more instructors, for example.
