...work to get rid of the grade gap. I was wondering whether you had made any progress." Since that time, I have received a handful of similar e-mails--questions about the possibility of opening the MAC earlier, a few rants about dining services inflexibility, a suggestion that keycard access be the top priority. All referred to a single issue raised during the campaign...
...students know the houses do not provide a common space, and the fact that my keycard will not give me access to my friends' houses reminds me of that. So do interhouse restrictions.
