HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
To the Editors of The Crimson:
The Crimson, unimpeachable as always, is right in saying that I've been talking with graduate students and colleagues about possible changes in the Department of Economics. I resolved to do this after a sobering exposure to student attitudes in a seminar last autumn.
But my mention of possible lines of reform was more notional than The Crimson implies. This is certainly true of the idea of two Departments, though it would of course rejoice the souls of all economists who accept the idea of competition. And it should also be clear that my bureaucratic power -- justly, perhaps, since it has been exercised episodically and unreliably -- has always ranged between negligible and nil.
