...check out the University-wide event today with Interim President Derek C. Bok. And if none of this suits your tastes, then e-mail or call us directly to let us know what you think.Different segments of the Harvard student body care about different issues—from the curricular review to the improvement of social life, from the expansion of the campus into Allston to changing the University’s calendar.

...last week’s report remains sluggish, the discussion about the future of General Education will continue to be monopolized by faculty. A handful of UC reps, operating with their own political objectives in mind, are a paltry excuse for an undergraduate voice in the process of curricular reform; in the face of our leaders’ passivity, it’s up to the College as a whole to make itself a part of the process. The time...
