dmaze...the IFC sanctions against DKE seem to have gotten MIT some respect from the Cambridge Licensing Commission, for once: the CLC voted to suspend DKE's lodging license for the period of the IFC suspension, with the only practical effect being that DKE can't rent out its house to boarders. CLC Chairman Benjamin Barnes is quoted as saying that IFC Judcomm finding pants is "a significant wind change on MIT campus". Meanwhile, President's Council seems to be upset that Judcomm actually did its job, though talk of an intermediate level between "probation" and "suspension" might be productive.
Separately, MIT administration talks about trying to find housing for FSILGs in Cambridge; this is something that's come up a couple of times before, though I don't know of any houses off hand that want to move to campus. Also, McCormick hall will "offer" a meal plan starting in the fall, reopening a dining hall that closed 10 years ago because it couldn't make money, and it will survive by forcing freshmen living in the hall to pay for food they don't want to eat.
