Right now the members of two of the five groups which supposedly constitute student government at Harvard are feverishly wrangling over a new 35-page report that everyone knows contains the key to the fate of general education. Although the dedicated student members of the CUE and the Educational Research Group (ERG) surely have only the interests of their fellow students at heart, these representatives will find it somewhat difficult to gauge opinions that do not exist. The lack of such opinions can be largely...
