Why? Every year, Harvard students make awesome web apps for their CS50 final projects and on their own time. These have the potential to truly improve campus life. Some catch on, but others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the resources necessary to reach the entire campus and exist for the long haul. Part 1: Campus App Incubator In December, the UC will take applications for the Campus App Incubator program. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for apps that are already prototyped, but not necessarily ready for prime time. We are specifically targeting towards successful CS50 final projects, but anyone working on a web app that improves campus life is eligible to apply. A small number (5-10) of projects will be accepted into the program. There are four main components to the incubator: x Off-Campus Work: Participants are expected to spend the majority of their time at home over winter break (December 22, 2010 to January 15, 2011) working on their projects. An email list will be created to facilitate sharing and problemsolving between the teams and project staff. x On-Campus Work: All participants will return to campus during Optional Winter Activities Week (January 16-23, 2011). There will be a full-week program for the projects, with a majority of time spent working in the Innovation Space, as well as daily show & tell sessions and seminars on topics including security & productionization, publicity & marketing, and UI design. The participants will also take a trip to visit local startups and hear from their founders. x Funding: A small (around $250) grant to support project development. Additional development & publicity expenses on a case-by-case basis. x Launch: UC-supported publicity following a launch of the apps in early spring Participating in the incubator program is limited to apps that plan to publicly launch in the spring. Student Coordinators: Approximately five students will be coordinators for incubator. They will be present during the on-campus portion and provide feedback and advice to projects, and will also lead workshops on specific topics during the program. Additionally, one student will serve as a logistics coordinator and another as programming coordinator.

[1] “But, frankly, Muslim life is cheap, most notably to Muslims. And among those Muslims led by the Imaam Rauf there is hardly one who has raised a fuss about the routine and random bloodshed that defines their brotherhood. So, yes, I wonder whether I need honor these people and pretend that they are worthy of the privileges of the First Amendment which I have in my gut the sense that they will abuse.” The New Republic, Sep 4, 2010 Citing statistics on out-of-wedlock births among blacks, Martin Peretz, editor in chief of The New Republic, said, “So many in the black population are afflicted by cultural deficiencies.” Asked what he meant, Peretz responded, “I would guess that in the ghetto a lot of mothers don’t appreciate the importance of schooling.” Mfume challenged Peretz, saying, “You can’t really believe that. Every mother wants the best for their children.” Peretz agreed, then added, “But a mother who is on crack is in no position to help her children get through school.” Some in the audience of 2,600 young Jewish leaders hissed at Peretz’s remarks. The Washington Post, Mar 28, 1994 “Well, I am extremely pessimistic about Mexican-American relations, not because the U.S. had done anything specifically wrong to our southern neighbor but because a (now not quite so) wealthy country has as its abutter a Latin society with all of its characteristic deficiencies: congenital corruption, authoritarian government, anarchic politics, neartropical work habits, stifling social mores, Catholic dogma with the usual unacknowledged compromises, an anarchic counter-culture and increasingly violent modes of conflict.” The New Republic, 2009

29F-20: Committee Assignment, Freshman District, and Amendment Procedure Act Rules Chair Nicholas Oo (Leverett â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13) UC Vice President Eric Hysen â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;11

TITLE I: Restructuring of Committee Assignments Whereas the current system of committee assignments only allows one representative from the same district to belong to the same primary committee, Whereas the current system intends to balance the preferences of different districts on each committee to promote the general interests of the student body, Whereas the current system impedes the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to allocate the interests and talents of its representatives effectively, Whereas the Council must find a solution between fair representation and effective allocation of interests and talents of its representatives, Be it therefore resolved that Section 1 of Article III of the Constitution be amended in the following fashion: Section 1. Committees. There shall be five standing committees: Finance, Student Life, Education, Student Initiatives, and Student Relations. All issues and policy matters shall fall into the appropriate committee (and consequent subcommittee) jurisdiction. Each representative must sit on one of these committees, referred to as his or her primary committee. Representatives may choose to sit on a second of these committees, referred to as their secondary committees. No more than two representatives from the same residential house or yard delegation may have the same primary committee and at the time of committee assignment, representation of the same district must be present in at least three standing committees through membership in primary and secondary committees. Representatives shall submit committee preferences to the Executive Board following their election, and the Executive Board shall seat representatives on the five standing committees as outlined in the Bylaws. Each Committee shall elect a Chair for a year-long term during the Fall Reading Period. Be it further resolved that Section 37.1 of Article III of the Bylaws be amended in the

following fashion: Section 37. Committee Assignments Section 37.1. Committee Selection Procedure In assigning committees to elected representatives, the Executive Board must seat any representative on a committee he or she previously sat on as a voting member, if he or she wishes to be so seated. Further, the Executive Board must seat the representatives with the most votes in each district general election on their first choice primary committee, as space permits pursuant to section 36.2. 37.2. In making all other primary and secondary committee assignments, the Executive Board shall take into account representativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preferences, results of the district elections, and seniority on the Council. Committee assignments are final once enacted by the Executive Board. Legislation adjusting committee assignments following initial seating must be considered by the Executive Board and be approved by a two-thirds vote of the Council. Section 37.2. Committee Sizes. In seating representatives on committees in the fall, the Executive Board shall seat, excepting Chairs, no more than nine at least eight representatives each on the Education, Student Life, and Student Initiatives Committees as their primary committees, no more than eleven at least ten representatives on the Finance Committee as their primary committee, and no more than four at least three members on the Student Relations Committee as their primary committee. In seating representatives on committees as secondary members, the Executive Board cannot increase the size of a committee, including its Chair, beyond 20 members. TITLE II: Freshman District Redefinition Whereas the Undergraduate Council divides the first-year districts into North Yard, South Yard, East Yard, and West Yard, Whereas the Freshman Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office defines the first-year yards into Oak Yard, Elm Yard, Crimson Yard, and Ivy Yard, Whereas the two definitions differ little but in the name of the Yards, Whereas it is necessary to minimize the confusion and inconsistency caused by the difference, Be it therefore resolved that Section 1 of Article II of the Constitution be amended in the following fashion:

Section 1. Representation. Each upper-class house shall comprise an electoral district. There shall be three representatives for each residential electoral district. Dudley house shall have representation proportional to the smallest residential district. The First-year dormitories should be divided into four sections (the North Oak Yard, the South Elm Yard, the East Crimson Yard, and the West Ivy Yard). Be it further resolved that Section 73.1 of Article VII of the Bylaws be amended in the following fashion: Section 73. General Elections. Section 73.1. First-Year Districts. The first-year district shall be the North Oak Yard, consisting of Canaday and Thayer Halls; West Ivy Yard, consisting of Holworthy, Hollis, Lionel, Massachusetts, Mower, Stoughton, and Straus Halls and Apley Court; East Crimson Yard, consisting of Greenough, Hurlbut, Pennypacker, and Wigglesworth Halls, and South Elm Yard, consisting of Grays, Matthews, and Weld Halls as well as Apley Court and any first-year students living in locations not otherwise assigned. The Election Commission may make minor shifts in district designs if absolutely necessary for the completion of the election. TITLE III: Constitutional Amendment Proposal Schedule Readjustment Whereas the current Constitution mandates the duration of a week to pass between the docketing of a proposed constitutional amendment by the Rules Committee and the beginning of voting by the Council, Whereas the time period was created for a more comprehensive process of evaluating the amendment, Whereas the current schedule delays important changes unnecessarily, Be it therefore resolved that Section 2.1 of Article VII of the Constitution be amended in the following fashion: Section 2.1. Proposal. If a proposed amendment to the Constitution is docketed by the Rules Committee, at least one week six days must pass between the approval of the amendment by the Rules Committee and the beginning of voting on the amendment. If an amendment to the Constitution is proposed as new business after being considered by the Rules Committee, at least one week six days must pass between the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote to consider the amendment as new business and the beginning of voting on the passage of the amendment.

Â Â B. Â Petitions. Â The Â Commission Â shall Â make Â petitions Â for Â candidacy Â available Â to Â all Â students, Â collect Â and Â validate Â them, Â and Â make Â a Â list Â of Â certified Â candidates Â available Â to Â the Â public Â no Â later Â than Â three Â days Â following Â the Â deadline Â for Â submission Â of Â petitions Â in Â any Â election. Â Â C. Â Online Â Voting Â System. Â The Â Commission Â shall Â be Â responsible Â for Â working Â with Â FAS Â Information Â Technology Â to Â ensure Â the Â proper Â functioning Â of Â the Â Council Â electronic Â voting Â system, Â including Â ensuring Â that Â timely Â and Â accurate Â voter Â eligibility Â information Â is Â included Â in Â the Â system. Â FAS Â IT Â shall Â extensively Â test Â the Â electronic Â voting Â system Â one Â week Â before Â any Â election Â and Â shall Â publish Â a Â report Â indicating Â the Â readiness Â of Â the Â electronic Â voting Â software. Â An Â unsatisfactory Â report Â will Â require Â that Â the Â problem Â be Â fixed Â prior Â to Â the Â running Â of Â an Â election. Â FAS Â IT Â shall Â implement Â technology Â to Â ensure Â that Â while Â an Â election Â is Â taking Â place, Â the Â incoming Â results Â of Â an Â election Â can Â only Â be Â viewed Â by Â a Â quorum Â of Â Election Â Commissioners. Â Â D. Â Notification Â of Â the Â Student Â Body. Â Within Â an Â hour Â of Â the Â start Â of Â voting Â in Â an Â election, Â the Â Election Â Commission Â Chair Â shall Â write Â an Â e-Ââ&#x20AC;?mail Â notifying Â the Â eligible Â voters Â in Â that Â election Â that Â an Â election Â is Â occurring. Â He Â or Â she Â will Â stipulate Â the Â duration Â of Â the Â election Â and Â the Â offices Â open Â for Â election. Â Under Â no Â circumstance Â shall Â he Â or Â she Â make Â mention Â to Â any Â candidate Â in Â such Â an Â email. Â Â E. Â Results Â and Â Certification. Â The Â Commission Â shall Â tally Â ballots Â using Â the Â Hare-Ââ&#x20AC;?Clark Â voting Â system Â and Â notify Â candidates Â and Â the Â public Â of Â results Â within Â 24 Â hours Â upon Â the Â close Â of Â an Â election. Â A Â quorum Â of Â Election Â Commissioners Â and Â a Â designee Â from Â the Â Office Â of Â Student Â Life Â shall Â be Â present Â for Â the Â viewing Â and Â tallying Â of Â the Â final Â results Â of Â a Â presidential Â election Â and Â The Â Election Â Commission Â shall Â certify Â the Â results Â of Â an Â election Â unless Â it Â has Â substantive Â evidence Â that Â the Â results Â of Â the Â election Â are Â invalid.

If necessary, the Executive Board of the Undergraduate Council may choose to grant the Election Commission one and only one extension of 24 hours to execute its purpose. Such extension may be granted only if the Election Commission provides a petition outlining the reason for such necessity. If by the end of the deadline, whether extended or not, the Election Commission fails to certify the results of the election and release them to the public, then the President of the Undergraduate Council shall call an emergency meeting of the Council and the Council shall henceforth have the sole authority in determining the means of certification.

29S-‐23: Harvard Cage-‐Free Eggs Campaign Support Act SLC ȋ Ǯͳ͵Ȍ ȋ ǮͳͶȌ Representative ȋ ǯͳͶȌ ȋ ǯͳͶȌ WHEREAS, the responsibility of the Student Life Committee (SLC) is to represent undergraduate interests in official University policies and priorities pertaining to student life, WHEREAS, the Harvard University Cage-‐Free Campaign emerged in response that the fact the HUHDS, according to its most recently reported data1, only purchases 19.2% of its eggs from cage-‐free distributors, meaning that the great majority of HUHDS's eggs come from hens raised in battery cages, a technology that has been criminalized in the EU, Switzerland, and three U.S. states and phased out at a number of Harvard's peer institutions due to its inherent cruelty, environmental unsustainablility, and risks to public health, WHEREAS the campaign encourages HUHDS to purchase exclusively cage-‐free eggs, a switch that they have reported will cost $18 per meal plan, and whereas Harvard students, almost without exception, have exhibited enthusiasm for the proposed switch to 100% cage-‐free eggs, WHEREAS the City of Cambridge passed a unanimous policy order recommendation noting that the Cambridge City Council "opposes battery cage egg production, based on the inherent cruelty of confining egg-‐laying hens in battery cage" and that the council "encourages consumers of eggs not to purchase eggs produced by caged hens", WHEREAS Harvard is behind local institutions and peer institutions in the Ivy League in implementing this switch, as Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia (70% switch),UCLA, Brandeis, and Emerson and MassArt and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy have switched or will switch next year to cage-‐free eggs, WHEREAS, it has been made clear by HUHDS that, if implemented, the change to cage-‐free eggs would be financed through means that would not affect the wages or employment of HUHDS workers, WHEREAS, since its introduction to the Undergraduate Council, the campaign has gained the wide-‐spread student endorsement in the form of Student Group Partnership and signed student support; ǡ ǯ ion has been signed by over 1,300 students; BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, the Undergraduate Council provide support for the cage-‐free eggs campaign by recognizing its legitimacy and helping advocate for its cause in appropriate circumstances (such as helping mediating negotiations with HUHDS or other advocacy-‐based initiatives); BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the UC will be in contact with the cage-‐free eggs campaign to determine its progress in negotiations with HUHDS and relevant administrative offices.

Whereas the Undergraduate Council is committed to the improvement of the undergraduate social experience, on which a limiting factor is available space for social events, and Whereas Harvard Students for Safe Social Space (HSSS) is a recognized student group committed to increasing the safety and accessibility of social space on campus, and Whereas dissemination of information and open dialogue on social spaces on campus is in the best interest of the student body, and Whereas public support and facilitation of meetings with administrators will greatly assist HSSS in the fulfillment of its mission, to the benefit of the student body; Be it therefore resolved that the Undergraduate Council publicly support the following tenets of the HSSS Mission Statement and advocate to the relevant administrators for their fulfillment: 1. Increase funding for student-initiated parties. 2. Make existing common spaces (e.g. house JCRs) more readily available. 3. Release information about both on and off-campus social spaces frequented by students (e.g. sexual assault statistics) so that students can make informed decisions about where they socialize, while preserving anonymity. 4. FAS makes a public statement with an official position on final clubs starting in the fall of 2011. 5. Incorporate discussions about social space as part of first-year and sophomore advising conversations by the fall of 2011. 6. Establish a CSL Subcommittee including administrators, faculty, student final club members and student non-members to continuously address issues of safety, exclusivity and lack of transparency. Be it further resolved that the Undergraduate Council Student Life Committee continue facilitating discussions between administrators and students, and review the progress of advocating for the above tenets by the end of fall 2011. Be it further resolved that the Undergraduate Council President include a link to the HSSS website in a campuswide email to boost student awareness and support of the HSSS mission.

Â The Â Council Â may Â endorse Â a Â project Â that Â confronts Â university Â policy Â but Â may Â not Â endorse Â a Â policy Â of Â any Â institution Â outside Â of Â the Â university Â if Â it Â is Â not Â somehow Â directly Â affecting Â the Â student Â body. Â 2.

If the SIC chair finds the issue particularly germane to student life, he/she may refer it to the Student Life Committee for debate and discussion. SLC shall abide by the same aforementioned procedures in reviewing requests for endorsement. The President of the Council may also bring the endorsement legislation to the Executive Committe ǯ Any endorsement requiring any form of Council publicity is additionally subject to approval by the Student Relations CommitteeǤǳ and; Be it further resolved that these procedures be communicated to all UC Representatives in a clear presentation at the bi-‐annual UC retreats; and Be it further resolved that this change go into effect immediately following its passage.

Whereas the Undergraduate Council serves as the voice of the student body, and Whereas senior administrators rarely meet directly with students to discuss issues of great importance to all University constituencies, and Whereas there exists a broad class of issues that is not adequately addressed by current administrative structures, ten examples of which are enumerated in the attached Proposal, and Whereas students at the College have few opportunities to engage substantively with key decision-makers in discussions on these important issues, and Whereas peer institutions including Princeton, Brown, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania operate comparable forums to great effect, as detailed in the Proposal, and Whereas exchanges of ideas and substantive conversations on these issues is in the best interest of the student body, faculty, staff, alumni and administration; Be it therefore resolved that the Undergraduate Council endorse and adopt this Proposal as its formal position on enabling students to fully engage with the University community; Be it further resolved that the UC President send the proposal to President Drew Faust; Be it further resolved that the Undergraduate Council hereby request the partnership of President Faust in the expeditious establishment of the Forum as a new beginning to community engagement at Harvard.

Whereas it is in the interest of the Undergraduate Council to increase its member retention rate, sense of community, and awesomeness, and Whereas in the past social and community-building events have fallen upon the shoulders of self-identified party czars such as UC President Emeritus Johnny Bowman with his legendary Pfoho Comstock Office Hours or by initiative of trail-blazing UC mavericks Representatives Yunan Jin and Stefan Botarelli, and Whereas interest in more Undergraduate Council social events and opportunities to build more UC camaraderie has consistently been shown by various members of the Undergraduate Council, and Whereas there already exist individuals on the Undergraduate Council who are willing to take on the role of throwing social events for the good and betterment of the Undergraduate Council, Whereas there is a need and there is a demand, and this must be met, Be it therefore resolved that the Undergraduate Council creates an informal position of Party Czar(s) who would be in charge of throwing a fun social event for Undergraduate Council members at the beginning and end of each semester.
