...Student Advisory Board (SAB), but they were far from mollified. “The Prefect Program has been disbanded effective next year, from above, and without consultation with the Prefect Board,” the officers wrote in an e-mail to program participants early the next day. The prefects?? protests stunned College administrators. “I honestly am baffled by how it unfolded,” says Suzy M.

...board informed prefects that “the Prefect Program has been disbanded effective next year, from above, and without consultation with the Prefect Board.” This newspaper took the bait, leading with a not-so-tepid headline—“College Pulls Plug on Prefects??—in last Tuesday’s issue. And before anyone could say “early retirement,” Rinere was at the center of her very first Harvard campus controversy...

The College and the departments must take this leash off of upper-class students. The rule is largely meaningless, but its mere existence might inhibit upper-class students from expressing their opinions candidly. Additionally, since first-years can conceivably compare the advice of several undergraduates with different interests, a compilation of honest advice will better help first-years than any guarded...
