ELISABETH ERICSON / The Dartmouth Staff Now just three weeks into her term as acting Dean of the College following the abrupt resignation of former Dean Tom Crady, Sylvia Spears is tasked with overseeing two of Parkhurst's most controversial endeavors the formulation of an Alcohol Management Policy and the restructuring of the First-Year and Upperclass Dean's Offices while also managing orientation for the Class of 2013 and special events in conjunction with College President Jim Yong Kim's upcoming inauguration. While AMP a new set of guidelines on alcohol use at social events was originally proposed in spring 2008, the procedures have yet to be implemented, following several rounds of feedback from student organizations. Spears, in an interview with The Dartmouth on Monday, said there is still no definitive date set for an announcement regarding AMP, but added that "we will need some conclusion by Fall term about how we will operate." "[We will] talk about where the discussion about the management of alcohol on campus began, what has happened in the past couple years, and I will brief [Kim] about the differences between [the Social Event Management Procedures] and the recommendations from the task force," she said. Kim, in a Monday interview with The Dartmouth, said that he wants to put a policy in place that "makes sense for everybody." "I think we all share exactly the same perspective and values about the alcohol policy," he said.
