Despite news reports of a policy overhaul at Harvard Law School (HLS), plans for student life reform are still in the planning stage, according to Gottlieb Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren.

In a Dec. 28 article, The Boston Globe reported that, in light of a spring McKinsey & Co. study at the school, HLS is ready to address issues that students and faculty have complained about for years: large class size, inaccessible professors, a stringent grade policy and general student unhappiness.

But, according to Warren, nothing definitive has happened yet.

"I don't know who gave [The Globe] that story, but it's way ahead of where we are," she said.

Warren heads up the Institutional Life Committee at HLS, which was responsible for commissioning the McKinsey firm last spring to pinpoint areas of concern.

After conducting a series of surveys, interviews and meetings at HLS, the McKinsey firm issued a report suggesting a series of improvements, mainly in the areas of class size, grading policy and the student-to-faculty ratio.

Right now the committee is simply reviewing the data and plans to meet with faculty members later this month to share the findings, Warren said.

"[The Globe story] acts like we're on the threshold of some big change here at the law school--nope," she said. "Maybe eventually, but now we're still in the discussion phase."
