Darling echoed sentiments expressed by David B. Orr '01--one of his frequent opponents on the council.
Orr, who is not a member of the committee, says he showed up to the meeting anyway to determine whether any reform was likely to be made.
"I'm very skeptical about the ability of this committee to actually do anything," Orr says.
But while the proposal has drawn some bipartisan opposition, it has also drawn support from some liberal council members.
Stephen Smith--who is not related to Brian Smith--says he likes the "openness" of the proposed structure. He says the council's most important work is done on student-Faculty committees, which are "too clandestine" right now.
"I like having Houses and student groups as the basis for things," he adds.
