While the Faculty Council’s intention might be to accommodate this student demand, the proposal has the potential to dilute the focus of the Committee on Women’s Studies and give short shrift to the emerging fields of gender and sexuality studies that deserve their own independent focus. While women’s studies deals with issues confronting the female gender, sexuality and gender studies focuses on studies of identity and sexuality for both men and women.

...people around every year would impair their ability to form relationships with House masters, tutors and the like. While not wholly lacking in validity, this claim, like the one regarding House spirit, does not even approach a fair justification for giving whole swathes of the student population such short shrift. And one could quite readily make the case that the opportunity to meet three times as many tutors—by switching Houses each year—handily offsets whatever might be lost by shifting us around in an equitable manner...
