...perhaps most telling is the fact that currently just 18 of the 40 concentrations offer fewer than 12 graduation requirements, and only four of these include Honors tracks that remain consistent with the proposed cap. Clearly, the College’s standard for properly extensive academic work has been set higher than the cap would allow. The proposed limitations would undermine the quality of education the College provides, and even more so when paired with the possibility of producing a capstone project instead of a thesis.

...basic point is that the administration shouldn’t look at Harvard basketball and be happy about going 7-7 in the Ivy League. Walsh, Murphy, Mazzoleni, and leaders like men’s heavyweight coach Harry Parker have set a standard of consistently winning Ivy League (or in Mazzoleni’s case, ECAC) titles...
