...academic life with the outside world's expectations of the people we turn out." Those problems, however, are not concrete questions like those involved in the curriculum reform--questions that Rosovsky does not expect he will be able to solve simply with a new version of his "yellow pages" report on undergraduate education, or by appointing task forces to report back to him. Rather, he hopes to prompt a new round of Faculty meetings that will debate the philosophy of graduate education, with an eye toward applying that philosophy to changing attitudes and trends. And he hopes to come...
...despite the mounds of paperwork, Gibson finds plenty to keep her busy. She hopes to be actively involved in writing the preliminary report of Epps's Committee on Race Relations this summer, and in general she feels her job provides her with a lot of leeway. Gibson believes most deans appreciate employee initiatives. "They don't try to hold you back or pigeonhole you.

"It seemed appropriate to do this kind of analysis for all Harvard properties and it has told us a lot about the kinds of improvements we can make," Wyatt says...

In addition, the investigation turned up different accounting systems for all the properties which differed substantially from the rest of the University's accounting systems, Zeckhouser says. In real estate management, the books include complicated figures for overhead pricing, marketing, depreciation of land values and maintenance expenses. According to Zeckhouser and Wyatt, the Corporation will facilitate financial management of properties now conducted through Harvard's own treasurer's office.
