And Fineberg would not have the strength nor the desire to change the University's current policy, McKean says.
"He's ostensibly liberal, but he isn't really pushing for anything to change," McKean says. "I really don't think this is the sort of person who could stand up to [the Harvard Corporation]."
PSLM member Madeleine S. Elfenbein '04 says that with Fineberg at the University's helm, she would be uneasy about the future of the living wage campaign.
"Fineberg is one of my greatest fears. He'd just be more of the same," Elfenbein says.
She says one of the most exciting aspects is the idea of bringing someone in from outside the University who might be willing to change the "impenetrable levels of bureaucracy."
"I really want the potential to start over, to create a new relationship that feels less like stonewalling and more like productive conversation," Elfenbein says.
