Jay Light says that in his experience a class of 90 or more is more productive/better learning experience than a class of less than 90, such as 60 or so.

In my experience, assuming diversity among a group of above average individuals, a group of 60 or less has been more productive of ideas and analysis than a group of 90 or more.

Can Light cite anything more than his own experience to support his statement?

HBS is very lucky to have Jay Light as Dean, and the seamless transition he performed for the school from Kim Clark, despite all of the upheaval going on at the time with Larry Summers across the Charles.

The one noticeable exclusion from this interview was the widely anticipated expansion into Allston and all of the joint scientific programs to be offered to students...so much for meltdowns. Hopefully the next decade of students will be able to participate.
