...would firmly support a policy that upholds women’s equality and helps create a more inclusionary environment for people of all faiths. But administering women-only hours in the Quandrangle Recreational Athletic Center (QRAC) does neither. Instead, the new policy creates an ineffective mandate that is unfair to Harvard’s minority Quad population: It is an unreasonable policy that is unjust to men and useless to women...
...College could simply include a meal allowance in its financial aid packages. Perhaps the most potent possible objection to such a program is that it might disrupt the bustling nexus of House community. While the number of people eating in the dining halls would probably decrease if our unfair meal plan were eliminated, the increased quality of food and service should draw back many students tempted by Pinocchio’s, perhaps, or any of its Harvard Square competitors.

But here comes the Grinch. Spurred on by mounting criticism over what many see as unfair special treatment for rich foreigners, the British Treasury has announced that the fun is over. Along with a new 18% flat rate for capital-gains tax, the government is proposing an annual fee of around $60,000 for any foreigner who lives in the country for more than seven years...
