- Paths forward for Harvard
- Conduct serious institutional research (a version of this project but more thorough) to develop plans and programming for cultural problems (which are often hard to make a priority without data showing that they are pressing problems)
- Paths forward for other peer institutions
- Create a venue for discussing best practices
- When this was going on at Princeton, both administrators and students who worked on Harvard's Honor Council heard from administrators and students at Princeton asking for advice, but not in an organized fashion. Same thing happened with UPenn two years ago. Unclear lines of communication.
