The Harvard Education Project is organizing special seminar courses for next semester to criticize various aspects of Harvard.
The HEP is approaching faculty members to conduct the seminars, which will be structured under an umbrella called "Radical Critiques of the University." Tracy B. Strong, teaching fellow in Social Studies and Government, will lead a section on the University and Society.
Other faculty members who have expressed interest in the course are: Robert M. Coles, research psychiatrist at UHS; Joseph L. Featherstone, graduate student in history and associate editor of the New Republic; Barbara N. Cohn, lecturer in General Education; and Paul Potter, a founder of SDS and instructor in philosophy at MIT.
Students will get credit for the seminars through independent Study which will be arranged by the HEP, according to Jeffrey L. Elman '69, HEP director. "There is a frightening number of Harvard courses which are not only irrelevant but bring," he said. "The general catalogue is not responsive enough to student interests."
