...these groups came before the Council in April, the legislation was hotly—and chaotically—debated over several meetings.Several days after the legislation failed to attain what was thought to be a required two-thirds majority, the UC discovered that in fact only a simple majority ought to have been required. At the UC’s next meeting, the legislation was deemed to have passed. The ultimate outcome compromised the UC’s strong stance against student group discrimination, and we were disillusioned by the procedural hanky-panky that brought it about.In the midst...

...biggest change seems to be cosmetic. A school is a whole lot easier to sell than a division. Harvard seems to be taking the bait.Nonetheless, new money and fresh blood will doubtless improve Harvard’s engineering and applied science programs, and at the graduate level, this ought to be applauded. There’s no question that the University’s ability to attract the very best engineers to do their work in an innovative, collaborative academic environment (read: Allston) is vital. But so far as undergraduates are concerned, the move may threaten the very foundation...
