Harvards Cornel West *80 "will
soon decide whether to return to Princeton," reported the New
York Times last week. Mired in a feud with Harvards new president,
Lawrence Summers, West, who has cancer, is on leave from Harvard.
On April 2, an administrative assistant in Princetons African-American
studies program inadvertently told an Associated Press reporter
that West was accepting a position at Princeton. But the associate
director of the program, Noliwe Rooks, later told a Daily Princetonian
reporter that the statement "was just a mistake." The
African-American studies program had prepared a statement in case
West was hired, Rooks said.
Harvard professor discusses living-wage issues
By Melissa Harvis Renny 03
One year ago, a group of Harvard University students staged a 21-day
sit-in to demand that the university pay a minimum wage of $10.25
per hour to all its employees. They attracted the attention of the
media and the administration as they rallied around Harvards
lowest paid employees.
Because of these students, the Harvard Committee of Employment and
Contracting was formed, headed by Professor of Economics Lawrence
Katz. Under Katz, the committee examined Harvards labor practices
and determined many of them should be changed. Today, the minimum
wage for Harvard employees is $11.35 per hour.
"I think that this case study will clearly show an example
that while market forces are quite important in setting wages, things
like management policy, union strength and negotiating tactics and
political pressure, especially on a non-profit organization will
have a big impact on the labor structure," Katz said in a lecture
at the Woodrow Wilson School on Monday, April 8.
Katz spoke of the custodians, security guards, and dining services
workers as the lowest paid members of the Harvard University community.
He explained that in the past, Harvard had only hired in-house employees
employees contracted by the university and paid a certain
flat rate to fill these positions, but as the university
realized they could cut costs by outsourcing hiring employees
from outside the university for less they began to practice
outsourcing more frequently.
Due to this outsourcing, he said, Harvards standard wages
dropped, and there was a demographic shift in employees from non-immigrant
high school graduates to largely immigrant non-educated employees.
Katz spoke of museum security guards guarding $8-$10 billion of
art who were paid only $8-$10 per hour. He claimed that before outsourcing,
these guards were people who loved art and took an interest in the
museum, while after outsourcing the turnover rate for these guards
was so high that they werent considered trustworthy enough
to be given a library card.
"Why in the case of janitors and security guards is playing
hardball so important?" He asked, noting that at prestigious
universities faculty is paid much higher than average wages, while
janitors and security guards are often paid less than average.
Katzs discussed that an in-house monopoly with no outsourcing
was not the answer to the universitys problems, because often
employers were dissatisfied with the quality of work if there was
no competition. However, he said, unrestricted outsourcing brought
down wages. As a compromise, the Committee suggested that Harvard
use parity wages a set wage paid to both outsourced employees
and in-house employees.
Katzs committee also recommended that Harvard make immediate
initial wage increases, improve the quality of work life, and increase
the transparency of employment and contracting practices.
Although implementing these changes will by costly, Katz claimed
that in the case of non-profit institutions like Harvard, it is
beneficial to keep employees satisfied with their jobs.
Katz also encouraged student activists to be media savvy and learn
all they can about the universitys wage policies. He emphasized
that students with the right information can effect change.
"I have little doubt that without the students there wouldnt
have been any great change in wages," he said.
On April 3, students gathered in front of
the Frist Campus Center to voice their views on the Israel-Palestine
conflict. The Prince reported that the Princeton Committee on
Palestine held a protest against Israeli occupation, while another
group of students held a pro-Israel counter-protest.
Some Princeton students have started a new
campaign to encourage the university to sell its investments
in companies doing business in Israel, reported the Daily Princetonian.
The Admissions office mailed its "YES!"
letters to prospective members of the Class of 2006. "More
than 14,500 students applied to the university this year, a 1.4
percent increase" from last year, reported the Prince.
Two Princeton juniors have been named 2002
Truman Scholars by the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation.
Rebecca Gifford and Daniel Pastor are among 64 students from 54
U.S. colleges and universities selected this year. The award recognizes
their leadership potential, intellectual ability, and likelihood
of "making a difference." Each scholarship provides $30,000
$3,000 for the senior year and $27,000 for graduate school
in preparation for a career in government or elsewhere in public
service.
Gifford, a Woodrow Wilson School major, intends to pursue a joint
graduate degree program in law and public policy, focusing on issues
of education, health, and labor in urban areas. Eventually, she
hopes to work on education and social policy reform in a school,
nonprofit organization or government agency. Pastor, a politics
major, plans to earn a master of public affairs in international
relations at a Latin American university and a doctoral degree in
political science, focusing on the 20th-century economic and political
history of Latin America and U.S. involvement in its affairs. Ultimately,
he hopes to pursue a career with the State Department in the foreign
service.
The American Society for Microbiology has
awarded Princeton biologist Thomas Silhavy its 2002 Graduate
Microbiology Teaching Award. The society cited Silhavy for his "exceptional
teaching and mentoring" both at Princeton and at Cold Spring
Harbor Laboratory in New York, where he taught from 1981 to 1985.
Silhavy, who holds the Warner-Lambert Parke-Davis Professorship
of Molecular Biology, teaches Prokaryotic Molecular Biology, a required
course for first-year graduate students in the department.The Princeton
University Art Museum launched its new Web site, princetonartmuseum.org,
on April 1. In addition to general information about the museum
and its educational resources, the site includes easily accessible
information about the museums collections, exhibitions, programs
and publications.
The student-run Princeton Charity Fashion
Show will take place April 25 on the Frist lawn at 8 p.m. The
show, organized largely by members of the Class of 2005, will include
fashion from 10 major designers and performances by student dance
and singing groups. Any funds raised are designated for cancer research.
Also helping with the show are the student groups Princeton Against
Cancer Together (PACT) and the Asian-American Student Agency (AASA).
Ticket prices are $7 for students and members of the classes of
1980 and 1955, the Class of 2005's parent and grandparent classes,
and $10 for general admission.
A group of students with the Princeton Justice
Program and the Student Global AIDS Campaign are engaged in an
effort called NEXT, Needle Exchange Today!, which seeks to have
a bill passed in the New Jersey state legislature that would implement
needle-exchange programs throughout the state. Robin Williams 04,
the director of NEXT, says the group began last fall and have taught
workshops at a national conference on needle exchange and testified
recently at the state capitol in Trenton. Future plans include meeting
with Governor McGreevey and other lawmakers. For more information,

My friends and I didnt get in trouble with the law. We didnt
drink and drive. Our binge drinking was such a crisis that we had
to settle for A averages and good jobs after graduation. In other
words, not much of a problem at all. The worst that happened to
most of us because of drinking was a hangover. "But that doesnt
matter to the army of busybodies intent on finding fault with student
alcohol consumption. Certainly some students, like some adults,
have problems with substance abuse. But the scope of the problem
is much more limited than the alarmists lead people to believe."
