...candidates and assessing their potential for leadership. He has consciously flagged senior members of the faculty for these positions because of their ability to voice undergraduate interests more broadly and, presumably, for their ability to do so without fear of falling out of favor with the administration to the detriment of their academic careers. And he has worked along with in-house committees comprised of Senior Common Room members, tutors and students so that he may make informed and thoughtful recommendations to the President and the Dean of the Faculty, both of whom make the final decision.

They should be outraged at their exclusion from the selection process and should demand an explanation from Rudenstine. That a handshake at the first-years' President's Dance has been most students' sole interaction with...
