...actions more transparent, increase student support, and improve the educational work of the Board. We commend Dean Evelynn M. Hammonds, who—amid an unprecedented budget crisis—has come down firmly on the side of instituting changes, many of which are outlined below and will take effect next year. Many students facing Board sanctions feel inadequately supported. To help students and to allow the resident deans to offer support, the Secretary of the Board, or a designee— rather than the student’s resident dean— will notify a student that a case...

I’ve learned that giving or getting flowers can start cycles of cooperation that benefit everybody...
