...instance, we could party away in MIT’s marginally better social space! It’s not like those frats are currently getting much use, anyway—and Harvard would really be doing MIT a service by providing bodies to fill them up. On the subject of students Harvard could send over to MIT, we’re pretty sure that our ivy-covered institution would be willing to part with some of its female undergraduates to even out the gender ratio a little further down Mem Drive.

This problem has become a growing issue at Harvard and seems to especially affect students taking courses in math and the sciences, where classes are often large and English is not necessarily internal to the subject matter. In an attempt to remedy this problem, the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning launched a pilot class in which TFs who are not native English speakers could learn skills to break the cultural and communication barriers in the classroom and, after its initial success, extended the program...
