Faust said that Radcliffe will continue to help fund the Ann Radcliffe Trust, an initiative under the auspices of Harvard College that aims to be the umbrella organization for student groups with an interest in women's issues.

Radcliffe raises funds for the Trust by soliciting its alumnae and contributed $50,000 this year towards the Trust's funding for student groups.

Technically, Radcliffe is no longer responsible for female undergraduates; the Harvard College Dean's Office did not permit the Institute to have a table at the undergraduate curricular fair earlier this fall.

But Faust said she has spoken with leaders of the Radcliffe Union of Students and the Women's Leadership Project and hopes to encourage undergraduate participation in Institute events.

Faust said she did not foresee any immediate changes to the arrangement between Radcliffe and Harvard that lets undergraduates use Agassiz Theatre, though under the merger agreement Radcliffe can appropriate the space in 2004.

She said she also feels that some type of student committee to act as a liaison between Radcliffe and undergraduates would be "logical."

Faust mused yesterday about a possible writing workshop in which undergraduates could work with and attend lectures by Radcliffe fellows.
