...funding should be based on the judgement of elected representatives, not administrators. This position is unnecessarily stubborn; what the UC might give up in the power to vet student groups for non-discrimination, it would gain in consistency and coherence. When CCL approves a student group, it considers its membership policies with respect to the College’s non-discrimination policy and federal law, which makes exceptions for single-sex singing groups, for example. Whatever self-satisfaction the UC gains from being unreasonably strict in its non-discrimination policy cannot possibly justify the confusion and irritation created...
...spring tour to Bermuda, or for an AACF board retreat. Not funding these events, however, should have nothing to do with the groups’ constitutions. Instead, the UC should examine the audience of a particular event before making funding decisions. If a group’s membership is to benefit from a UC grant to the exclusion of other undergraduates, then the UC should think twice before funding it. But if an event put on by a CCL-recognized group is to benefit the entire campus, then undergraduates’ money would be well-spent supporting...
Though a good number of their membership does list “Gatsby” as a favorite tome on the facebook.com, this is not just about the Fly.

Then they reviewed the group’s activity level, contribution to the community, and club membership to determine whether the group would need a shared or single office. Finally, groups assigned to shared space were arranged according to similarity of goals, in addition to requests from the groups themselves noted on the application.McLoughlin added that groups that would not have been granted space individually...
...social space” for freshmen.This plan is rotten because it makes University Hall the sole arbiter of Yard space. As arbiter, the administration has prioritized space for non-student run organizations that focus on racial, sexual, and gender differences between students. In place of student groups with diverse memberships, the Yard will soon host organizations that promote a politically-correct image of diversity at Harvard. Tour groups will eat it up. Yet this image is cynical and utterly incorrect. McLoughlin’s plan is forcing Harvard’s largest student groups out of the Yard in favor...
