We need students to push for more involvement in the budget process, we need students to call for reforms to the Ad Board, and we need students to work with us to give student voice a permanent and substantive role in the College’s decision-making processes. There is no greater time to get involved with student government than the greatest budget crisis in Harvard’s history, and there is no greater time to show the administration that students are ready to increase their involvement...
