Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 and the Committee on House Life were concerned, among other things, about the increasing prevalence of large blocking groups and their theoretical implications on House life. Specifically, Lewis and other House Masters worried that these large blocking groups made it easy for...
According to Lewis, an eight-person limit would "ensure that students from one block will get to know other students in the House." Other House Masters have echoed this thought, saying large blocking groups make it hard to "integrate people into the House as a whole."
The trust's potential recipients worry that Lewis has not yet specified whether students will be involved in the granting process itself--or if control will fall solely to Karen E. Avery '87, an assistant dean of the College who has also been named director of the trust.
Lewis says he is determined that student groups formerly reliant on RUS will not suffer financially because of the merger. Over the next year, he will be designing the trust, with help from a student-faculty advisory committee.
"We're committed to funding a grants process," Lewis says. "The details of how it will work out have yet to be worked out."
