...take place, a consensus must first exist; Mr. Chung has already admitted that no such consensus exists around the council. More importantly, PUCC seeks to create a legitimating consensus in campus politics--not by declaring a moral mandate for progressive concerns, but by creating an articulate dialogue around vital and potentially divisive issues, one which might produce the agreement lacking in Harvard's present, rhetoric-driven politics.
