In mid-November, the UC passed a resolution in support of Harvard’s janitors, who were, at the time, in contract negotiations with the University. By taking a position on the issue, the UC overstepped its bounds, first because UC representatives are elected without regard to their positions on such political questions, and second because the UC’s proclaiming the opinion of the student body on such an important community issue...
