'At Harvard, they’re out to right the wrongs of outdated decor.

A revision’s been recommended by the Faculty of Arts and Science’s (FAS) Task Force of Visual Culture and Signage.

According to the 21-member group’s near-30-page report, the “exclusion embedded in the current visual culture…perpetuates a too-narrow understanding of our institution’s past, present, and future.”

The verdict was delivered December 6th after more than a year of examination.'
