...next to our proposals for student-faculty organization at the Faculty level. Our first recommendation is that three joint student-faculty committees be created, the first to deal with undergraduate education, the second with graduate education, and the third, which we view as a successor to SFAC, to be concerned with students and community relations. We contemplate equal student and faculty membership in the first two committees and a larger ratio of student membership in the third committee. Members of the Faculty Council would serve on each committee in order to provide a link with that central body. Each committee...
...envisage the functions of the Committee on Undergraduate Education, its primary responsibility would be to consider and to initiate studies and proposals to improve the quality of education in Harvard College. Thus, for example, it might concern itself with the operations of the tutorial system, freshman seminars, general education, the grading system, pass-fail, independent study, and other experiments in education for students in Harvard College.

We also suggest that this committee be charged with the improvement of departmental student-faculty communication at the graduate...

These subjects might include, but not be limited to, admissions and scholarship policy, government relations, the draft, student housing, health and welfare problems, and the University's relations to the community. It should be pointed out, however, that...
...business of the Faculty increased in variety and complexity, the Committee on Educational Policy (CEP), which was originally established to deal with problems of undergraduate education, was increasingly used by the Dean of the Faculty to discuss and make recommendations to the Faculty on matters of more general concern. In effect, the CEP began to evolve into a combined Dean's cabinet and Faculty steering committee. While the CEP at no point exercised exclusive jurisdiction over the Faculty docket, it did give preliminary consideration to many matters which were later brought to the floor of the Faculty, and its recommendations...
