Becoming a recognized student group requires filling out some simple paperwork and getting two Faculty signatures.
The Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) has had a whole year to register--but hasn't yet made the trip to University Hall.
College recognition, however, is key to the group's survival.
Without it, RUS cannot poster on campus, can't use University space for meetings and can't apply for College funding.
With it, the group could have a permanent slot on the Ann Radcliffe Trust's faculty-student advisory board. The board will dole out nearly $20,000 in grants to student groups with an interest in women's issues next year.
But many months after the merger between Harvard and Radcliffe, RUS Co-President Kathryn B. Clancy '01 says the group has not gotten around to registering.
"There isn't anything to say about this...We haven't done it because I asked the secretary [of RUS] to about two months ago and she hasn't done it yet. That's all there is to it," Clancy writes in an e-mail message.
Clancy said in February she did not understand why RUS had to register with the College.
