Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles will announce today that average section size will be decreased from 20 students per section to 18, starting immediately.
"I have wanted to respond, since I believe that this can make a real difference to one's experience in section," Knowles wrote in a fax to The Crimson yesterday.
According to Knowles, average section size may well continue to decrease in the future.
"We must go at this incrementally, but at least this is movement, and this is movement in the right direction," Knowles said yesterday. "I hope that this may turn out only to have been a first step."
William M. Todd III, dean of under-graduate education, said he and Knowles are exploring the possibility of reducing section size even more.
