...backroom battle reminiscent of the strife that toppled Harvard’s president last week, faculty members of the Graduate School of Design (GSD) have in recent days clashed with their dean, Alan A. Altshuler. The battle reached a boiling point this week, when the Harvard Corporation—the University’s highest governing board—intervened with an unusual letter of support for Altshuler and a pledge to summon incoming Interim President Derek C.

...Witt also called for carefully orchestrated urban planning in the reconstruction of New Orleans and a commitment to rebuild the wetlands of the Mississippi delta. Approximately fifty people, primarily faculty and graduate students, attended the symposium. Panelist Frederic Schwartz, a New York-based architect and a former visiting design critic at the Graduate School of Design, regretted the lack of undergraduates in attendance, saying that “when you learn, you can also help.” Diane M.

A 1997 re-accreditation report lists an Academic Council chaired by the president and including the provost as well as “the deans of the several faculties,” and the Graduate School of Design still lists the Academic Council in its faculty handbook. But the Academic Council—with just a few top administrators among its members—is a far cry from the representative University-wide body that some professors have been proposing.BRING BACK THE COUNCILThe calls for a University senate...
