EC 1 CRITIQUE

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The article on the YPSL-ADA critique of Economics 1 (CRIMSON, March 4) contains an unfortunate error. According to the report, I urged these groups to go through the Harvard-Radcliffe Policy Committee rather than air their complaints independently. I made no such statement; on the contrary, I told them that I was pleased to hear of their initiative. The HRPC neither has nor wants a monopoly on the criticism of individual courses, whole departments, or anything else. The YPSL-ADA critique seems to me a sound, carefully reasoned document, and the energy and independence that its authors have shown deserve to be emulated by all students interested in improving education at Harvard.
