...their next semester without having even finished the midterms for the current one is inherently unfair. Students already have intense mid-semester workloads; this proposal would further burden them with researching and choosing classes for a semester that is still two vacations away. Furthermore, success—or lack thereof??in the current semester commonly dictates the classes one takes in the next. For instance, first-years often decide their concentration based how well they enjoy their fall classes. Preregistration undermines the effectiveness of student decisions by providing insufficient information about their own academic achievement and comfort...
What if Harvard lost its football stadium? There is little question how quickly University President Lawrence H. Summers would act to ensure complete continuity in the program. And while the priority—or lack thereof??given to dance at Harvard is probably not due to any overt gender bias, the resulting effect will predominantly hurt undergraduate women. This neglect is discrimination “in effect if not intent,” to use a phrase with which Summers is surely familiar. Had the administration given this issue the priority it deserved back in 1999, the potential...

I’m a sucker for romance, but no one asked if this particular Thursday works for me. No one cared that I lose my appetite when hundreds of couples giggle and coo on all sides and when the sexual tension at the neighboring table is enough to make me sweat...
Fifth, the diversity (read, “lack thereof??) of our faculty is embarrassing. Gender diversity is a perfect example: as a science concentrator I have had only a single tenured female professor in all four years, and she taught a Core class. While the balance of professors in the humanities seem to be moving towards reasonable numbers, the numbers of tenured women in the sciences at Harvard is ridiculous. It is hard to make arguments about a lacking “pipeline” of women students in the sciences, given that graduate students are usually...
