They say Michigan's policy indicates that Bollinger is willing to listen to student demands.
Bollinger agreed to join the WRC on a provisional basis in February 2000, after SOLE members seized the office of Michigan Dean Shirley Neuman.
In the wake of the sit-in, Michigan students applauded Bollinger for his willingness to listen to student demands.
PSLM member Amy C. Offner '01 says Bollinger's stance appears promising.
"It seems Bollinger has an understanding of the need to heed student's demands," Offner says. "He has experience in dealing with this and has been forced to do what's right."
PSLM member Benjamin L. McKean '02 says he hopes that Bollinger could also bring Harvard into the WRC.
"If Bollinger ended up here and we didn't end up in the WRC, I'd be pretty disappointed," he says.
But PSLM members say Bollinger's policies also provide a potential source of concern.
