Kroop ’10, who serves on the Council’s Modern House Renewal Subcommittee, understands that current house design limits the breadth of the policy. “Right now we’re at a place where the university really wants to be accommodating but it can only do so much and it’s only willing to put its neck out so far,” he says...
