However, Lerner says the best way to compare the two properties is to look at return on net investment.

...after months of tumult, the Council decided in June to decrease its size and membership by a third, eliminating the Campus Life Committee (CLC) and retaining its two historically successful branches: the Student Advocacy Committee (SAC) and the Finance Committee (FiCom). Two, rather than three, elected representatives per house means a more selective and passionate membership is serving the 25th Undergraduate Council—Mather House even held a debate for its leading candidates. And, probably most importantly, with approximately $30,000 freed from CLC expenditures that the Council will no longer provide, FiCom will theoretically be able to increase...
