Members of the Small Property Owners Association (SPOA) aired their frustration over confusion in Cambridge's rules for classifying rent-controlled apartments at a City council meeting last night.
And in a lull in the discussion over rent control, Danehy asked Healy to confirm or deny the truth of a rumor that the city manager would be selected as Harvard's next president.
The problem arises from the strong authority exercised over PBHA by the non-students. According to some PBHA members, the organization's paid professional staff doesn't give enough weight to the concerns of student members. Perhaps this is because Johnson began only this semester to hold regular formal meetings...
It seems odd that the Harvard administration, which requires that undergraduates have decision-making power in all undergraduate organizations, should wink at, or even condone, the control of non-students over PBHA.
THE professional staff is able to exercise so much power over the students because some students are in tacit collusion. Those students who share the staff's agenda are not as disturbed when the staff makes decisions without consulting them.
