Most of the students did not object to a change in the location of their advisors as long as they were readily at their disposal. Gordon Faith '92 referred to a sort of "dual citizenship" where students would go to other houses for academic advising...
WHILE we welcome the staff position's thoughtfulness and consistency in upholding free speech, we object to its portrayal of the thefts as an "enormous favor" to the "campus Right." Rather than an issue of political popularity at Harvard, the squelching of ideas is a serious affront to everyone, not just an opportunity for conservatives to point fingers...
