...office and patrolmen. That contact was one key ingredient that, Chafin says, he noticed lacking within the department when he arrived. To correct this lack, Chafin says he will consult all members of the department prior to making major decisions, whenever possible. "My management approach is to ask for input right down the line of the best way, within reason, to accomplish a given task," he explains...
...handful of administrators, complained to Crimson executives that the paper, which receives a certain amount of money for advertisements from the Summer School each year, was not fulfilling its part of the bargain by providing summer students with spots on the staff; others argued for more administration input into the selection of the stories we cover. The first of these arguments is just inanely misinformed, while the other is dangerous...
More troubling have been the calls for more administration input into story selection. Many of the stories in The Crimson, it has been rightly pointed out, do not deal directly with "the Summer School experience"; we have attempted to cover, as we would in the winter months, events of interest to the full-time Harvard and Cambridge community. For that reason, we would of course give much space to the story that a key former Harvard administrator, now holding a key job in educational policy formation and also involved in a federal audit of Harvard's finances during the time...
...which it was discussed and finally adopted. Harvard's administrators like to function in quiet, low-profile fashion, tinkering with the system but largely failing to consult the students who will be affected by their plans. True to form, the Core has arrived with a minimum of student input. It is strangely presumptuous--almost insulting--to ask undergraduates to buy the idea that a small number of Faculty members know enough about Harvard's problems to be able to suggest a replacement for Gen Ed. A Crimson poll in March revealed that 65 per cent of the undergraduate body...
...brought back memories of '69. The Faculty and administration see, quite rightly, an attempt to erode their power to set University policy. Such student demands demonstrate that students have concerns very different from other groups within the University. To counter this, the administration claims that no special avenues of input or control are necessary in investment and other decisions, because the administration is acting to further interests of all those at Harvard. This is the same straw man that the administration throws up to justify the actions that defend or expand administration control of student life...
