...members of the Standing Committee, wo by their admission have no expertise in Afro-American Studies, had no right to determine a course of study without the aid of the incoming department head. Since the university and its administrators have proved their inability to function without out direction and control in the matter of Afro-American Studies, we deem it not only necessary, but logical and just to enter into the direction of a major which drastically affects our lives...
There are 30 members of the Board, and they are divided by fives into six groups. Each group serves staggered, six-year terms so five new over seers are elected each spring to take office on Commencement Day. A 1921 law gave the governing boards control over the method, time, and place of voting.

Insurgents can appear on the ballot by petitioning with support of 200 alumni. Write-in votes are also permitted...

His appointment ended speculation that the President might shift control over trade policy to the Commerce Department, a possibility that had dismayed a number of business, labor and farm groups...
...that the preservation of the right to teach and learn within the University is an absolute moral imperative. It is possible to envision circumstances where this right would come into direct conflict with the prior right of people to defend their lives and their freedom: a lecture on quality control techniques involved in the production of napalm is not, in the context of this country's policies abroad, absolutely entitled to protection against protesting students. But there are no courses being taught in Harvard College whose disruption would demonstrably serve the vital interests of the Vietnamese or of anyone else...
