While the APO is under no obligation to emulate either of these models, it could at least make an effort to inform interested students of its efforts, rather than instructing members of the SAB not to speak to the press. Despite all the controversy, lack of transparency, and frustration, the PAF program still promises to be an improvement to the Class of 2010’s advising. When the selection process occurs again next spring, none...
