...While it was heartening to see the committee continue deliberations regarding the best approach to the release of nutrition information, students should have had more of a role in the process. To be fair, the committee did invite students to contact committee members, but there should have been a more proactive outreach campaign in order to facilitate student interaction. College students ought to be provided with as much information regarding health matters as possible. Therefore, maximizing the dissemination of information ought to be made the highest priority...
...also heartening to see that the administration is keeping school politics out of the nutrition-fact deliberations. Administrators have the Harvard student body’s health as the highest priority when making their judgments. In addition to the administration, there are many students who voice their opinions on the subject. It may seem that the subject would not cause much student debate, but, in fact, students debate with one another on the nutrition policies.

...inconvenient impact of recent cuts to Quad services is only compounded by a general shortage of concern for the needs of student residents. For years, students’ objections to the erratic shuttle schedule have been ignored, and the same dismissive attitude is awarded to Quad faculty. Upon release of the recent budget cuts, all Quad resident deans and House masters expressed extreme dissatisfaction at not having even been consulted. So great is the lack of consideration awarded Quad concerns that during town-hall meetings, administration officials professed unawareness of the ineffectuality of the escort and van service and even...
