"Are there clear boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable...
Undeniably, this physical division between instruction and research will force science professors to divide their time between the two areas. Though not ideal, several science faculty have expressed a strong desire to conduct their research in close proximity to their colleagues, and Allston is the only location with the space to house them and leave room for future expansion. And though it might seem a burden to have undergraduate science concentrators go across the river to conduct research, many students have already demonstrated a willingness to trek to the multitude of labs in the Longwood Medical Area, which is much...
