“By saying I’m not dealing with final clubs, I’m not dealing with date rape, it means Harry Lewis’ office is completely responsible for that,” Faust said.
Since September, Faust has spoken to a range of student groups—from the WLP to the women’s basketball team.
And as she guides the Institute in its reshaping efforts, Faust says she hopes to include undergraduates.
In the fall, she met with leaders of undergraduate women’s groups to discuss how the Radcliffe Fellowship Program, which is now the core of the Institute, can interact more with undergraduates.
And several ideas that students suggested—such as house affiliations for fellows and more speaking opportunities—are part of Faust’s plans for next year’s fellowship program.
After the Institute publicly announces the Fellows for the 2002-2003 academic year later this week, they will distribute a list of names to centers, departments, deans and Houses across the University.
