...venerable Harvard institutions, the Administrative Board of Harvard College likely holds the distinction of engendering the most anxiety among students. The Board, composed of resident deans, faculty, and administrators, applies faculty rules in regard to undergraduate education and conduct. Critics of the Board argue that its procedures are obscure, that it is inadequately supportive and representative of students, and that encounters with it can be downright terrifying. After 18 months of reviewing the Board, we have proposed modifications that will make the Board’s actions more transparent, increase student support, and improve the educational work of the Board...

German unions had always supported Austrian-Canadian company Magna International's takeover of GM Europe, wary that the rival bid from Fiat was just an attempt, as one union official put it, to "pinch German engineering." The unions regard Magna as an innovative company that put forward the best plan to secure the long-term future of Opel. At the carmaker's headquarters in the town of Rüsselsheim near Frankfurt, workers were hugging friends and colleagues outside the factory on Saturday when news of the deal broke...
Latin American leaders usually have few qualms about lecturing the U.S. on what they regard as the folly of its Cuba policy, especially of late. Reintegrating Cuba has become a priority issue for many if not most of the region's governments, who see it as a way to break with the Cold War politics and U.S. hegemony that burdened the region in the 20th century. Calls for Washington to lift its 47-year-old trade embargo against Cuba have rarely been louder, especially since President Barack Obama, who is popular in Latin America, seems to be opening the door...
