Legislation introduced today by two Massachusetts state legislators will "promote transparency" at Massachusetts private colleges and universities by requiring them to be more detailed in their financial reports, The Boston Globe reported. The bill mandates that institutions declare the value of their yearly tax exemptions and list the employees whose salaries exceed $250,000. Universities would also be required to report the worth of their assets to the state if their value exceeds $10 million and detail contracts exceeding $150,000. The bill was inspired by a 2010 report from the Center for Social Philanthropy in Boston, which accused institutions of higher education including Harvard University and Dartmouth of taking "too much investment risk." The report was partly funded by the Service Employees International Union, which supports the new bill, according to The Globe.

College presidents expressed concern over the future of liberal arts colleges at the Council of Independent Colleges conference on Wednesday, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Historian Jon Meacham said that the "quaint and quirky" liberal arts education pattern will soon become irrelevant as the government places more emphasis on research institutions, education and science, The Chronicle reported. Meacham also said that a liberal arts education provides students with training to think for themselves, which they can use to counteract "institutions and people who have a direct economic stake in the perpetuation of conflict as opposed to the resolution of problems," according to the article. Goucher College President Sanford Unger spoke against the lack of government support for higher education and criticized college administrators for their timidness, The Chronicle reported.
Eighty Wake Forest University students attending an off-campus Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity party were issued citations for underage drinking by Winston-Salem police early Sunday morning, according to the Winston-Salem Journal. Police arrived at the party to investigate a claim of assault after a partygoer threw a beer on another attendee. Upon arrival, police estimated that 200 to 300 people were inside the house and called the fire department. The fire detectors were covered with plastic cups and duct tape, and the fire department issued several citations for fire code violations to the fraternity. The Wake Forest administration said that the students and fraternity members will be meeting with the dean of student services for disciplinary action, the Journal reported. The university recently changed its alcohol policy to encourage responsible drinking.
The Student Assembly Course Guide which hosted rankings and ratings of courses at the College until it was replaced with the independent CourseRank service in spring 2010 is no longer available online, leaving students without access to the guide's course reviews from previous years.

Inge-Lise Ameer, associate dean of the College for student support services, and April Thompson, associate dean of the College for campus life, asked for feedback from freshmen about their Orientation and early Fall experiences at Tuesday night's freshmen-only Student Assembly meeting. Ameer said she intends to improve the advising system, possibly by setting up a peer advising system pairing first-year students with older students. She also intends to revamp faculty advisor training, and set up an online portal where students can view their advisors, she said. Freshmen at the meeting expressed approval of the new mandatory My Student Body online alcohol course that the students completed before matriculating. While students said they mostly viewed the alcohol panel during Orientation as a positive experience, some freshmen raised concerns that the panel failed to represent moderate drinkers. At the meeting, students who reside in substance-free dorms all said they were happy with their living arrangements.
