...divide between political and direct-service work on this campus impoverishes the understanding and integrity of the former and limits the potential of the latter to achieve more permanent change. Just as students hoping to craft public policy should learn about its real-world consequences, students hoping to make progress directly on issues should consider the ways that they can use their knowledge to work for permanent change. Otherwise, service groups will be in danger of producing well-intentioned advocates working in a system without the tools to shape it, and political groups will be in danger of churning...

But Harvard’s progress thus far in enlarging financial aid awards for lower- and middle-income students has not tested the true, underlying goals of the initiative.
