Tonight, I will be spending the next hour at a debate about layoffs. Of course, this being Harvard, the layoffs are not the 8.5% unemployed nationwide, nor those whose jobs are in threat through the machinations of the macroeconomy. Instead, the debate goes no further than layoffs in the Harvard community. Some might say it’s a petty issue, others might have sixties flashbacks. Still, it seems like a worthwhile insight into the nature of Republicanism and Democratism at Harvard. So without further ado, the liveblog begins.
