College Has Yet To Replace House Master Title

After unanimously agreeing to change their collective titles last December, Harvard’s House masters have yet to agree on a replacement.

Dean of the College Rakesh Khurana issued a statement in December announcing that the leaders of Harvard’s 12 residential Houses had “unanimously” agreed to change their title to “suggest a new title that reflects the current realities of the role,” and would announce the replacement sometime early in 2016. Some students have criticized the title for a perceived association with slavery.

But, according to House masters in Winthrop, Mather, Eliot, and Adams, progress on a new title has been slow going.

Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., co-master of Winthrop House, said “no” when asked whether discussions on a new name had begun.
