Certainly, Harvard should strive for excellence in athletic as well as academic pursuits, but the latter must always take precedence, and the team should ultimately defer to the greater interests of the University. Whether this requires keeping standards above a certain level, or scaling back on aggressive recruiting to remain beyond reproach, Amaker has a responsibility that is greater than the need...

...funds. Nevertheless, throughout the Party Fund controversy, the College has asserted its right to exercise control over Undergraduate Council funding. There have been several rounds of negotiations and the College administration seems finally persuaded. Last night, the UC announced an agreement with college administrators that seems to defer ultimate veto power over UC expenditures to the Faculty Council. As long as the UC agrees not to fund alcohol, it can distribute its resources at its own discretion. Ultimately, UC funding does not fall under the College’s jurisdiction. If the College administration wishes to dictate...
