...schools' major objection to the law is that they will have no voice in the transfer process: HEW, in fact, will summarily assign eligible students to existing openings. Med schools rarely accept transfers anyway, since very few good students tend to drop out. Thus the schools, which A.A.M.C. says have doubled their enrollment in the past decade, will be forced to fit even more students into facilities already filled to capacity. More important, many of the foreign medical schools are considered inadequate by U.S. standards, and many Americans studying medicine there are likely to be rejects from U.S. schools...
Other students on CHUL hope to go beyond the budgetary access issue and gain the power to influence budgetary decisions. Several CHUL members criticized the lack of student input into the budgetary process. Last year, CHUL members were the first to hear Dean Rosovsky officially announced the upcoming year's tuition, room and board fees, but he did so at the first meeting of newly-elected CHUL representatives.

Other students criticized...

Advocates of the plan say the process of deciding which House to apply to causes unnecessary anguish for freshmen. Freshmen spend all to long a period of time sampling each House, and tend to create distinctions between the Houses that have no basis in reality, simply because the Houses must be ranked in some order, pre-assignment advocates say. Spence used similar reasoning to justify the replacement of the old housing lottery, where freshmen ranked all 12 Houses in order of preference, with last year's method, where freshman ranked only their top three choices...
...fledgling student advocacy groups are watching to see whether CHUL can reform itself and provide an adequate forum for the expression of undergraduate opinions.
