Harvard Gazette Highlights Administrative Burden, Gerrymandering, and National Security

A journalist's new book argues that "administrative burden" unfairly hits the nation's most vulnerable hardest, according to a Harvard Gazette item asking whether it is time to start cutting red tape on government programs.

A separate piece examines how gerrymandering fuels a cycle of out-of-touch politicians and alienated voters, noting that "most seats are effectively decided before the general election."

The Gazette also reports that a Law School initiative is examining U.S. national security in a bid to prepare future leaders amid seismic shifts.

Featured events include "AI and the Future of the Economy," featuring Peter McCrory of Anthropic, at Harvard Kennedy School at 6 p.m. Wednesday, and "Ethics In Real Life: Disagreement in the Age of AI" at the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics at 5 p.m. Thursday. ArtsThursdays runs 5-9 p.m. Thursday.
