The Overseers' Committee on Governance has divided into three subcommittees to continue its comprehensive study of the University.

The most important subcommittee will investigate the problems caused by Harvard's large administrative bureaucracy. It will reexamine the role of the President, the Corporation, the Board of Overseers, the Council of Deans, and other administrative bodies. In addition, this group will study University finances, considering shifts in federal grants and investment policy.

Another subcommittee will consider problems of inter-school relations, including proposals for a University-wide Senate made up of tenured and non-tenured faculty, students, administrators, and alumni, and disciplinary procedures for faculty and students.

A third subcommittee will discuss broader issues concerning the purpose of a University, its responsibilities, and the challenges it faces.
