yes, I have a problem with Harvard’s policy, too! I just think that academic excellence requires an environment of open enquiry, and a school’s treatment of their most prized internal information is a clue as to the maturity of their openess, or perhaps in Harvard’s case, their haughtiness. Whether its immaturity, haughtiness, or just plain fear…not good in my book. Some seem to have no problem with putting info on the web, Williams comes to mind. Some are good at making public selected info (e.g., Middlebury, Tufts & BC factbooks) but withhold or “creatively” present other info.

Worthy of a separate thread, as every institution seems to express their openness or lack thereof in different ways. In Colgate’s case, they don’t publish CDS’s and they seem to be stuck on class profile stats for the “accepted” class, rather than the “enrolled” class…the latter a practice employed by Tufts as well, which I happen to believe is less than fully open. Colgate does publish their annual financials, though!
