An editorial yesterday criticizing the Center for International Development (CID) failed to draw a precise distinction between the institute and the now-dismantled Harvard Institute for International Development (HIID). In particular, the editorial overstated the extent to which HIID resources have been allocated to the CID.
Additionally, the editorial neglected to emphasize CID's involvement within the Harvard student community. Among other programs, the institute administers a degree for graduate students, summer internships, an undergraduate fellows program, regular seminars and other special events. These programs, many still in their early stages, promise to add significantly to students' academic experience. The Crimson regrets these errors.
