JUMP: Focus: U. has long history of committee reports

of Locust Walk and increased support for student groups. In this period of discussion over the preliminary report of the Commission on Strengthening the Community, many have asked if the Commission is in the same league as the Survey or One University? Lloyd said he does not think so. While he said the Survey, One University and Choosing Penn's Future works were major academic planning documents, he said he was "not sure that Strengthening the Community fits into the same category." Lloyd said the Commission report bears closer resemblance to a 1967 Report on the Admissions Policy of the Undergraduate Schools of the University of Pennsylvania, better known as the McGill Report, after its chairperson Dan McGill. This report, and its later admendum known as the Wood Report, firmly established affirmative action admission standards for the University, Lloyd said. Koons generally praised the Commission Report but said she is concerned that it will be costly to implement and that the University may have trouble maintaining its focus on so many varied suggestions. But Meyerson said he believes the Commission report has a good chance of being implemented fully. "I think its chances of success are rather good," he said. "I know that there are some that are cool to it, mostly the housing recommendation, but we have to see what these days ahead bring." And it is these days ahead which will not only determine the exact makeup of the Commission Report, but which will ultimately determine its proper place in University history.
