The council also approved a motion sponsored by President David L. Hanselman '94-'95 that would endorse the "two-dean" structure proposed in the Maull-Lewis Report on the Structure of Harvard College.
Later this month, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R.Knowles will be determine the job structure for whomever replaces current Dean of the College L.Fred Jewett '57 at the end of this year.
One proposed structure places the Dean of the College and Dean of Undergraduate Education as a subordinate to the Dean of the College.
"Right now students have direct access to the Dean of Harvard College," Hanselman said. "We may become one level more removed from the Dean of Harvard College."
Randall A.Fine '96 criticized the Maull-Lewis report for being too ambiguous about the future role of the Dean of Students according to the "two-dean" model.
"It seems to be that the administration has prevented us from having all of the information to make an educated decision," Fine said.
Fine proposed an amendment to the resolution recommending to Knowles that a Dean of Students also be retained in the "two-dean" model.
"As a student, I've only had to see a Dean of Students," Fine said. "We need one to be there to represent us."
Fine's amendment passed by a vote of 40-18.
