Are you frustrated that Yale's financial aid policy simply doesn't match up to Harvard's? That some students are forced to take extra jobs in order to afford Yale? Then on Tuesday night, join members of the Undergraduate Organizing Committee in asking questions about economic diversity, student financial burden, and transparency and accountability of the financial aid office – problems identified by hundreds of Yale students -- at President Levin's open forum, half of which will be devoted to questions about current financial aid policies. The Undergraduate Organizing Committee’s reform platform, which has been endorsed by the YDN, is available on the UOC website: http://www.yaleuoc.com, and you can contact them by e-mailing rounds@gmail.com.

The open forum is presented by the Yale College Council.
