But given that we do have a J-term, the administration should make the options for J-term as inclusive as possible.

None of them serve on visiting committees, have children at Harvard, or live in or near Boston. I am not implying that members of the Corporation are not knowledgeable about the issues facing Harvard, but it is hard to deny that acting on behalf of the University without having any direct connection to the issues or people in the community is a problematic task...
