Administrative work

• Porn committee

  I served on an NRC committee on web pornography; here is the report.

• Letters and Science major

  I used to chair the Computer Science L+S Steering committee at UC Berkeley. Most people encounter this committee through dealings with the L+S advisor, Barbara Hightower

• UC Berkeley admissions policy

  I served on the UCB AEPE (Admissions, Enrollments and Primary Education) committee for a period of six years, 1995-2001 (a lively period in the life of this committee, due to changes in California law). The committee put together a comprehensive assessment policy that is now widely regarded as a model policy (described in a report ; more stuff is at the current committee page ).
