Fellow undergraduates,<br>
<br>
Over the past year, MIT has been evaluating its budget due to the
recent economic downturn. Faculty, staff, and students have had an
unparalleled involvement in this process, arguably more than any of our
peer institutions. In an effort to further engage undergraduates in
discussions on the initial report put forward by the Planning Task
Force, the Undergraduate Association has identified and summarized
twenty-two recommendations that we think could have the largest impact
on us as undergraduates. Please take a minute or two to read about the
different ideas the MIT Community has proposed regarding undergraduate
life. These issues range from assessing add/drop date to no longer
guaranteeing four years of on-campus housing. If you feel strongly
about an issue, let us know: vote it up or down and tell us what you
think. The summaries are available online at <a

Best,<br>
Mike and Maggie
