Leverett House Master Howard Georgi has said that the House would no longer feel like a family if some family members are given the power to evaluate others. But tutors are paid employees of the College and, however friendly the House atmosphere, the nature of their stay is contractual.

I thank MacKenzie for placing abortion on the same historical trajectory as slavery...
