The staff has been too hasty and cursory in its call for the end of Radcliffe as we know it.

Although it would be hunky-dory for us to realize the one college vision, I don't trust Harvard to "actively support and promote women's issues."

The independence of such groups as RUS and E4A from Harvard is precisely what allows them the autonomy to pursue forceful and sometime spontaneous action.

Until Harvard makes explicit and fundamental its recognition of this need for independence, Radcliffe shouldn't go anywhere.
