...will is not meaningfully expressed through the organized leadership of the UC, it exerts influence over nothing. Condemning the UC’s vote has implications far beyond the single issue of janitor’s wages. It reinforces and amplifies what is perhaps the single greatest flaw in the Harvard community: it has become oxymoronic to speak of a “Harvard community” as inclusive of students, faculty, and administration.
