Months After Merger, RUS Has Yet to File for Official Group Status

"There's so much else to worry about, [registering] hasn't been top priority. There is so much more to helping female undergraduates then filling out some papers, we keep forgetting about it," she said in February. "This is an added layer of bureaucracy that we didn't used to have to worry about."

In February, Clancy had said RUS would soon be filing the necessary form with the College.

Once Radcliffe College's student government, RUS must seek recognition because Radcliffe no longer has a role in undergraduate education. As a result, the organization now falls under Harvard's domain.

The group voted in the winter to accept men as members, hurtling its major obstacle to becoming a recognized Harvard student group.

While the College has taken down posters from the Seneca, another unrecognized student group, it has thus far allowed RUS to continue to sponsor events and poster on campus despite its unrecognized status.

But College administrators have been in touch with group members, encouraging them to register.

Mary Maples Dunn, acting dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, wrote to RUS earlier this spring, asking them about their plans to register.
