Requiring prior authorization from insurance companies before prescribing schizophrenia medications undermines treatment without cutting costs, according to a Harvard study published this week...
...there are other, nicer gyms that are perhaps a bit further away. Students here are for the most part extremely tolerant, and they were likely just as angry about how the situation was handled—for instance the particular hours selected for the closure,or the lack of prior notification—as they were about the closure itself.

Currently, soldiers head to Afghanistan or Iraq for 15 months, return home for 12, and then may be redeployed overseas again.

"My goal is to come down from 15 months as quickly as we can," Mullen told...

Taking into consideration the way that HUDS’ budget is determined each year, its constraints are understandable. But the distribution of funds is decided each winter prior to the school year, and the next time around HUDS should allocate some resources to providing food over Spring Break. Given the amount that students pay for board, we simply cannot have hungry kids at Harvard...
