...semi-annual desperate pleas from the administration to evaluate their courses for the recently renamed “Q” (formerly CUE) guide. The system for evaluating has long been flawed, and student participation has suffered as a result. Today, a motion will go before the Faculty to enact substantive and extensive reform of the course evaluation process. We strongly encourage the Faculty to attend the meeting and usher Harvard’s course evaluation system into a new and more effective era.The chief fault of the current course evaluation system is that professors are not required to open...
...three anonymous faculty members to reform the Ad Board, the committee, like the Ad Board itself, seems largely a sham. Sundquist and Sarafa are committed to pushing for meaningful reform to the Ad Board. Their know-how and drive are the best opportunity the student body has to enact real change to the Ad Board. Beyond the Ad Board, improving mental health services on campus and streamlining the convoluted student group funding process are at the top of Sundquist and Sarafa’s to-do list. Add to that advocating for cable television in dorms, initiating a UC capital...

It is the domestic-policy equivalent of Realpolitik, and it drives partisans crazy on both sides of the political divide. Conservatives go ballistic because they don't see Hillary Clinton as a moderate at all - she's a tax-raising, socialized-health-care-loving peacenik feminazi...
...example. "For the life of me, I don't understand what my opponents are trying to achieve," she said. "It is potentially a trillion-dollar tax increase." Clinton's point seems solid on several grounds. There are higher priorities than Social Security in 2008, especially if you want to enact universal health insurance or a real energy-independence plan, both of which will require revenue increases. And why start the negotiations now, in the Democratic primary? History shows, as Clinton attests, that the best way to deal with this issue is through a bipartisan commission, where both sides can share...
