The selection process of the Parents Weekend Committee, which arranges the panels, will also undergo changes next year, Assistant Dean of Students Ellen Hatfield Towne said Monday.
Towne, the director of the parents weekend, said the committee members have traditionally been chosen based on suggestions from house masters.
"In the past, we worked with the group of students that we knew," Towne said. "Now we are going to advertise more that we are looking for students to take part in the committee. We are going to ask for student recommendations and we'll advertise in the house bulletins...
But Joan R. Cheng '95, co-president of the Asian American Association (AAA) who has met with Towne on the issue, said the new guidelines extend beyond the committee's formation. She said the new committee must seek the advice of minority groups when formulating the panel discussions.
Next week, Assistant Dean of Students Ellen Hatfield Towne will also meet with the coalition.
