...sweeping reevaluation of FAS structure in the face of a $220 million deficit. HCL spokeswoman Beth Brainard said the plans for consolidation were “not associated with the budget.” Even before the financial crisis hit Harvard, library officials had been entertaining the idea of revamping the structure of the science libraries to create greater efficiency, she said. The consolidation of services and collections across the science library services would facilitate interdisciplinary research and economize the purchasing, licensing, and processing of materials, according to Bloxham’s statement. But Brainard did not deny the possibility...

The demonstrations seem to have gotten a lot of attention (good and bad) in the media, so to the extent that you buy into the idea that all publicity is good publicity (which I do not), I guess you could term them moderately successful.

Iweala had no idea who the renowned theorist and Shakespeare scholar was, but the way he talked about Chaucer made it “seem like the most incredible thing to read on the earth.” Iweala was hooked. After switching to English, Iweala stuck it out as a pre-med to fulfill...
That was one of the most surprising things of all. I knew that there were problems at other institutions, but I had no idea that there were as many problems as there are. I was inundated with dozens and dozens of emails from faculty members and dozens from parents who responded saying they were trying to get help for their son or they were trying to get help for a student and the administration where they were was completely unresponsive or wasn't able to give help even if they wanted to. It became clear to me that this...
