...much Harvard or its peer institutions might lose under a reallocation of funding remains unclear, but each university could see cuts of several million dollars. A Harvard financial aid initiative announced last month, which eliminated tuition for students whose parents earn less than $40,000, cost the University $2 million...
...setbacks in 2002, when the European Court of First Instance threw out three antitrust rulings in succession. Monti countered by reorganizing the competition directorate, bringing in a new chief of staff and chief economist and insisting on tougher internal scrutiny before issuing decisions. In the Microsoft case, a special peer review panel was set up to play devil's advocate, picking holes in the arguments, before Monti was satisfied he could win. Still, Microsoft is almost certain to file an appeal in the European courts, which could drag the case out for years and limit the impact, even...
...council must also consider broader structural changes before it expects the student body to rubber stamp this fee hike. SAC members who favor the increase point out that Harvard lags far behind peer institutions when it comes to termbill fees—the average fee elsewhere is $201, they claim. But critics rightly recognize that many of these schools are far better equipped to handle the larger budgets, with far more students working actively to organize campuswide events. And while we are confident that more money would heighten the profile of council events, which in turn would attract more committed...
While the show highlights the inherent restlessness of the medium - in Craig Walsh's video Cross-Reference, 2004, distracted crowds filmed at a music festival peer through one of the gallery's fire doors - some of the best work in the Biennial is as still as a painting.

If his A View of the Artist's House and Garden, 1835, shows how Glover tried to plant a corner of England...
...BoardPlus is a poor substitute, failing to pay for purchases on a late-night CVS run. A little more digging reveals that Annenberg (and HUDS) don’t stack up to any of the other Ivies’ dining services. To put it briefly, each of our peer institutions offer multiple meal plans, all of which carry lower price tags than Harvard’s ambiguous $4,162 yearly board charge...
