The most prominent projects currently seeking approval are the proposed Knafel Center for Government and International Study and a new art museum on Memorial Drive--but both have drawn heavy criticism from Cambridge residents fearful of Harvard's continuing growth.
"Those are two that I would very much like to see approved so we can get on with the job," Rudenstine said. "We're going to keep trying to make the case and see what adjustments can be made for the community without damaging the projects."
Sullivan, however, doubts the projects will be approved any time in the near future.
"I wouldn't hold my breath if I was him," Sullivan said.
Rudenstine also plans to continue plans on the University's development of land in the Boston neighborhood of Allston.
The University is currently trying to acquire 48 acres of land in Allston near the Harvard Business School, with the possibility of relocating a graduate school to the area (please see related story, page 5).
Several council members have also criticized Rudenstine's stance on a living wage for University employees.
