Actually, undergraduates would be saved quite a bit more. Since Melendez, who plans to attend the Law School next year, is not currently a Harvard Student, the council pays the University a $164 per month fee to allow its former chairman use of libraries, access to Harvard's health insurance plan, and other fringe benefits available to Harvard staffers.
