Another option open to the task force was to scale back HIID's operations but keep it centralized. Pagett said he would have preferred this plan, which would also have made HIID an "allied institution" like the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study.
"It would be disingenuous to say this would have been my preferred way of doing it," Pagett said. "But I don't see any reason why this can't work."
Provost Harvey V. Fineberg '67 responded to the task force's 60-page report in a letter to the fellows and staff of HIID, saying that he is "disposed to accept" the recommendation of the task force.
One of the biggest advantages of having HIID functions move to individual schools would be increased accessibility for students and faculty.
"This kind of integration will be better certainly for teaching and research," Thompson said. "I take a very positive view."
