The Hatchet’s editorial board praises the work of Masood Vojdani on advising, but is dismayed that a parent is the most outspoken person on the issue.

So it has come to this. Academic advising has become a problem so paralyzed by a lack of initiative that a parent is the most active proponent of reform. We are talking about Masood Vojdani, the incoming chair of the Parents Campaign Philanthropy Board who has already collected more than 70 e-mails from students describing their experiences with GW’s various advising systems. It is inexplicable and inexcusable that GW has turned such a blind eye to advising reform that a parent is now leading the charge.
