We look forward to working with this committee to bring our institutional policies in line with those of our peer institutions and with the recommendations of the Association of American Medical Colleges...

Possible conceptions of a “January Experience” included opportunities for students to pursue research, travel, internships, or academic study, as is the case at many peer universities.

University Chapel at Princeton similarly offers ecumenical services on Sundays. Dartmouth’s Rollins Chapel is an explicitly interfaith space, with a Muslim prayer room off the main transept. Earl Hall at Columbia is more a center for community service and houses the Office of the University Chaplain, which is also explicitly interfaith. Any one of these alternatives would be better than Harvard’s status...
