Harvard College students are raising their voices loud and clear! A recent student survey shows they are unhappy with the brand-new Office of Culture and Community (OCC), worried about confusing grades, and fed up with campus transport. This poll, taken by over 800 students via the Harvard Undergraduate Association Election Commission, paints a lively picture of student concerns. First up, the OCC is not winning hearts. The University replaced three identity-based student centers that supported minority, LGBTQ, and women students with the OCC. But guess what? 63% of students say they feel less supported now than before, according to The Harvard Crimson. This shows a big worry about campus culture and inclusion. The OCC was meant to bring programs together and boost outreach, but many students just aren’t convinced it works better. Neither Harvard College nor the Dean of Undergraduate Education gave any comments on these results. Next, the hot topic of grade inflation is stirring debate. In October, the Office of Undergraduate Education warned that inflated grades are hurting academic standards. Students want more clarity! A whopping 73% want detailed, department-wise data on grade inflation. Instead of strict limits, 40% want transcripts to show median grades, so it’s clearer how easy or tough courses really are. About one-third want courses to have similar difficulty. Only 3% support placing hard caps on A grades. Clearly, students prefer transparency over strict rule changes. Campus transport is another sore point. Nearly 75% of students think Harvard’s shuttle-tracking app, PassioGO!, needs to go because it often fails. Many said a free MBTA public transit pass would greatly improve their campus life. The Harvard Undergraduate Association’s Residential Life Team is even talking to Boston’s transit officials about joining a program that could make this happen. The survey also touched on student elections and activism. Over two-thirds want a simpler voting system where they pick only the candidates they support. Plus, questions from student groups on issues about investments linked to Israel and definitions of antisemitism got mixed attention, but exact results weren’t shared. Though the survey results are not official decisions, they send a clear shout-out: Harvard students want real transparency, stronger support, and better public transit. As one of the world’s top universities goes through changes, its students demand to be heard loud and clear. After all, who better to shape the future of Harvard than the students themselves?
