Anyone who has logged onto the website of the Undergraduate Council (UC) recently—perhaps hoping to languish away an afternoon filling out grant applications or reading news (“Record Crowd Attends Springfest”) from 2004—understands that it fails miserably at its most rudimentary purpose: functionality.
