...this cost-benefit analysis. Among the potential drawbacks to a tracked expos system, Harvey suggested that because Expos is intended to impart a “body of basic concepts and values pertaining to academic writing at the college level,” it would be “unclear what would decisively distinguish a higher level course” from a lower one. He notes, moreover, that “it’s not as easy to define a harder or higher level writing assignment as it is a math problem...
...turned a deaf ear. Only recently did the President provide $11.6 million of a promised $556 million that was supposed to have been available to the state last June. The money came too late to prevent layoffs of police officers and firefighters, and the calendar for future aid is unclear. First responders make sacrifices every day to provide security in an increasingly insecure world. They deserve more than fuzzy math and phony rhetoric...

At the very least, one would expect the Alumni Association to conduct some sort of investigation before taking away this honor, but none was reported by the Tufts Daily.

What, exactly, constitutes an “appropriate” wartime Spring Break is particularly unclear for students who have never lived through a longer-term war, or one in which more than 120 soldiers died. Gulf War “appropriateness” was easy—we continued attending middle school. This war is particularly surreal: outside of the newspapers, it is rather hard to believe that a war really is going on. In Cambridge, life, academic or celebratory, has not changed since “Shock and Awe” began, aside from regular skepticism...
