...UC’s year has, in some important respects, been uniquely productive. After the release of a UC report that called for a 24-hour library and cited survey data demonstrating tremendous student support for the change, the Harvard College Library finally agreed this year to a two-year pilot program that will see Lamont stay open around-the-clock during the academic workweek, beginning fall 2005. We applaud the UC’s persistence in advocating a policy change that is sure to benefit undergraduates come September...
...month later, the UC unveiled its report on dining hall hours, which it presented to Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) management. The report called for extended hours in undergraduate dining halls, which currently close between 7:15 and 7:30 p.m. each evening, long before most Harvard students even start thinking about sleep. This page expressed satisfaction with the reasoned and reasonable manner in which the UC raised the issue with HUDS...
...accordance with UC bylaws, a replacement VP was elected by secret ballot at a meeting of the full council, on May 13. Clay T. Capp ’06, who had run unsuccessfully for the position in the December elections (as Glazer’s running mate), defeated graduating council member Jason L. Lurie ’05, 22-20. His election by a narrow margin—against an outgoing council member—and his selection by the outgoing council, not by the student body, both spell a tenuous mandate for Capp, who must now tread lightly...
...which it set out this spring. Promising proposals for a decentralized council, a streamlined grants process, an expanded CLC, and direct elections to the UC’s to-be empowered committees were all considered, with disappointing results. In May, a bill that would have introduced direct elections to UC committees—a reform we staunchly advocated—was defeated 18-13. We condemned the apparent death of what we consider the UC Reform Commission’s most important proposal, and chastised the UC for the destructive self-interest behind the decision. If council members are unable...
...been a year worthy of mixed reviews for the UC, as missteps alternated with strides forward in the council’s business. The record of the 2004-2005 UC leaves room for significant improvement, especially in event planning and council reform, but the UC’s promise in negotiating extended library and dining hall hours, in particular, leaves room for great optimism...
