...painful. However, a number of the small cuts—notably the significant reductions in Harvard’s shuttle service to the Radcliffe Quadrangle and the layoffs of House-based administrative staff—would save only a small amount of money while having a disproportionately negative impact on the lives of many undergraduates...
...There is no doubt that there must be layoffs among the administrative staff who support students and faculty, and FAS leaders ought to be applauded for making real reductions. But not all cuts are equal, and FAS should focus on those that have the least impact on students and faculty. A logical way to go about making cuts is to scale back the most recent growth, a principle that would mean reductions in offices like advising, communications, finance, and the divisional deans.

Upon release of the recent budget cuts, all Quad resident deans and House masters expressed extreme dissatisfaction at not having even been consulted.

If Quad students must be subjected to “separate but equal” rhetoric, then Harvard must...

This is not an issue of convenience; this is an issue of safety...
