Sachs added he would vote for the name change when the administration commits to building a women's center, creates a women's studies department and fulfills several other demands.
Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 said he did not anticipate that the protest vote would prompt University action.
"I don't think any naming decision is likely to affect any College policy," he wrote in an e-mail message last night.
An issue that was less hotly debated came with Seton's endorsement of Darling and his running mate, Nehal S. Patel '02.

Rachel L. Brown '01 said she found the fact that presidents typically endorse potential successors "disgusting."
