Coming from the dean of the College's office and not from a Faculty directive, the study is a one-sided proposal and carries no official weight, as does, for instance, the Fainsod report. Thus, after it is completed, Dean May must lobby for it within the Faculty, solely on the merits of the recommendations and the arguments in favor of them...
...combining the recommendations of several House committees must be considered a major problem in itself, since the impetus for reform has come from several groups holding very different views of education...
