...student government at Harvard. The UC has already had 26 years to reform itself from within. Considering past failed attempts at internal reform, the UC’s desire to select its own reviewers is even more absurd. Giving charge to the same people who have yet to successfully effect structural change will only lead to continued failure and widespread disillusionment with Harvard’s student government. The administration should consider all applications to the committee without a UC-run screening process. Perhaps if this time around the administration prioritizes student interest over the vested interests of the existing...

...depend on the goodwill of source nations to conduct their digs, it's not very likely they would cooperate. However, Michael Kremer, a Harvard economics professor, and Tom Wilkening, a grad student at MIT, have another idea.

Obama was shown smiling, cuddling with his wife and playing with a soccer ball, while Clinton was shown doing a phone interview, studying papers in preparation for a rally and standing in the dark before giving a speech. Photographs can be just as biased as language. A little more evenhandedness would have been...
...need for student loans by lowering the typical student contribution from $6,100 to $4,500, which students can cover with work-study or outside scholarships. Under the program, the average family contribution for students receiving financial aid in 2008 will fall 16 percent. The initiative will go into effect for the upcoming academic year. The maximum contribution by families earning between $60,000 and $100,000 will be $15,683 for both student contribution and room and board. Under the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative, undergraduates whose families earn between $60,000 and $120,000 will contribute between zero...
