The President’s Advisory Council of Harold Washington College [“Comment: How to Save the City Colleges,” January 24], is comprised of people from business and the community, as well as representatives from the college’s student body, faculty, staff and administration. Our task is to provide the president with recommendations, when implemented, that will best serve the students, college and the community it serves.
