Should Harvard, then, simply dissolve the IOP? Hardly. The IOP’s component groups—especially those farthest from its administrative core??produce meaningful work, especially when engaged on the streets and in communities.

Perhaps the worst feature of the Core is its limited course offerings. This semester, for example, only three courses count for Historical Studies B, and only five are offered in the spring...
