The College's U2K Steering Committee has issued a
proposal for residential and social life at Union.
The document addresses three primary topics: transition
to a sophomore rush, establishment of an all-inclusive house system in the
fall of 2004, and an array of new social alternatives.
“We believe our proposal represents a careful
balancing that preserves the 175-year tradition of Greek letter societies
while simultaneously offering a new model for residential and social
life,” wrote members of the Committee in the introduction to the
report.
Formed two years ago, U2K was charged with proposing
“a set of reforms that would preserve the traditions of Greek life
that are consistent with an academic community that values open inquiry,
seriousness of purpose, diversity of opinion, and a broad and equitable
choice of residential and social options.” Members include students,
faculty, staff and alumni.
The committee invites reactions to the proposal. The
document can be accessed on the Web.
