Most former FDO administrators interviewed say under the new hierarchy and new tone of the FDO, members of the FDO left because they did not like the working environment.
With the new administrative structure under Nathans came a new attitude toward disciplinary cases, many former assistant deans say. They say they felt she was inappropriately harsh with students. Several say their displeasure with her treatment contributed to the high rate of turnover at the FDO.
A former senior proctor who worked under Nathans says her serious demeanor was a benefit for her job.
But several assistant deans say they were concerned that under Nathans, proctors were no longer available to first-year students as a trusted resource.
For this article, The Crimson spoke with nine of the 10 former assistant deans who worked under Nathans, as well as one of the two current assistant deans who have worked under Nathans for at least one semester. The others could not be reached or declined to comment.
