Three students were arrested last weekend, Safety and Security director Harry Kinne said, which marked the lowest number in recent history. This year’s Green Key weekend saw the usual boost in campus police activity, Kinne said, and most calls were related to alcoho.

Between Friday afternoon and 6 a.m. Sunday morning, Safety and Security received 51 calls, Kinne said. During last year’s Green Key, Safety and Security filed 54 reports, though Kinne did not say at the time how many calls were made overall .

A new human-centered design minor, approved last week by the Committee of Chairs, will launch this fall. Sponsored by the engineering sciences department, the interdisciplinary minor aims to incorporate knowledge, research and innovation from various disciplines to address human needs.

A proposed campus climate survey will likely not be conducted until next fall or winter, college spokesperson Justin Anderson said. Anderson said the Office of the Provost will be involved in the survey, with incoming provost Carolyn Dever leading the survey’s implementation. The request for such a survey has been voiced numerous times at the College, and was listed among other proposals in the “Freedom Budget,” which called for “continuous external reviews” of the College focusing on racism, classism, ableism and heterosexism. Following the sit-in of College President Phil Hanlon’s office last month, a document signed by protestors and Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson included an agreement

to conduct a survey and release the results publicly by 2016. The extent to which internal or external actors will be involved in the survey is not yet clear, Ander son said. Many details of the survey — and a firm timeline for its implementation — have yet to be formulated, as the College awaits the findings of an ongoing Title IX investigation.

Human-centered design, Robbie said, has recently become a dominant branch of engineering sciences. In SEE MINOR PAGE 3
