Cambridge officials, for example, charge that the University is unwilling to plan with the city. "They think they are operating in a vacuum," City Manager Sullivan says. "Harvard seems to pretend that the city doesn't exist. It seems to go on about its business as if it was located in the middle of a cow pasture in North Dakota," he continues...
Tsongas proposed a national program of "phased conditional divestiture" on the Senate floor last month. Under his plan, universities would sell 20 per cent of their holdings in companies with operations in South Africa each year for five years, achieving complete divestiture...
Bowersock's plan reflects the same faith in the supremacy of Faculty members as tutorial leaders that characterized past tutorial legislation. The earliest report on tutorials, in 1924, declared that professors were best suited in the teaching staff to lead individualized discussions. The report assumed that "every professor will wish to have such personal contact with his students as the tutorial method implies." But the legislation made no provisions for those professors who harbored no such wishes. Since 1924 the ranks of this disaffected group have enlarged dramatically...

Bowersock defends his policy, explaining that, "enforcing was a word I never intended to use in connection with these reforms." Persuading, he adds, is a more appropriate approach.

"Nobody," Higonnet stressed, "will...
