Instead of committing itself to any set of criteria for gauging the support Harvard's portfolio companies give the apartheid, the ACSR report only suggested that such criteria be established in the future, and that the right of companies to stay in South Africa be judged against such guidelines on an individual basis. This crucial evaluation is therefore to be carried out by non-existent staff with non-existent resources employing non-existent criteria. The report amounted to little more than an abdication of responsibility by the ACSR, freeing the Corporation to adopt any course of action it desired...
...based. NIH cites a lessening of scientists' fears about the danger of recombinant DNA research; many scientists have testified at public hearings they believe they initially exaggerated the potential danger of recombinant DNA research. However, other scientists, including King, maintain that NIH is "weakening the guidelines without any scientific criteria whatsoever." He noted that the NIH data base has no risk assessment program to determine exactly how dangerous such experiments...

Instead of considering only the P.C. level, the aid office will examine a student's complete financial aid application. The new system, while hitting "90 per cent of the same people," should provide a more accurate assessment of which students most need work-study jobs, Maguire says...

Inefficient and inequitable utilization of talent is not acceptable in an institution that operates under the philosophy of "athletics for all." To deny a capable young athlete an opportunity to play on criteria other than ability can be a disruptive influence on daily college life; an added mental and emotional burden must be faced, and opportunities to participate in more favorable activities are missed...
