Hausler said last night that the dean's "appointment" of committee members after their election would be "perfunctory." and that the provision was necessary because the proposed committees are, technically. Faculty committees.
Under the system of "rotating" election, some Houses would elect members to the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life, and some would name members to the Committee on Students and Community Affairs.
Eventually. Hausler said, the election of student members to the disciplinary group that will succeed the Committee on Rights and Responsibilities "could be worked into this scheme, because the CRR is a student-Faculty committee and analogous to these other committees,"
The choice of a "rotating" system of election is dictated. Hausler said, by the desire to retain the House as the basis of elections and to keep the new committees small.
"The House is the only feasible election unit for College-wide elections." Hauster said last night, "but there's a hidden problem of proportions here. There are only certain numbers of Harvard students you can appoint and still have the proper number of Cliffies and freshmen."
