...does not excuse Harvard for its refusal to function as a college. As a College disciplinary body, the Ad Board is responsible for upholding campus standards which, even though not punishable in criminal court, are still enforced at Harvard. The College has made it against the rules to sexually assault another student. It cannot now admit its inability to enforce that rule and go back to dealing with plagiarism cases and study cards. The Ad Board must be trained to deal with sexual assault cases and to discipline students who break Harvard’s rules but who may never...
...just this week, Harvard failed to endorse the Coalition Against Sexual Violence’s attempt to gain federal funding to help redress the current dearth of resources available for sexual assault victims on campus. The grant would have funded a review of Harvard’s current sexual violence education and the implementation of suggested changes as well as sexual violence education for members of the Ad Board.

This provoked Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis to propose in his annual report that the Ad Board take less responsibility for fact-finding in “he-said, she-said” cases. This change in policy will take effect in September, sharply curtailing the amount of investigation the Ad Board does into sexual assault cases...
...only really capable of effectively handling problems like study card extensions, plagiarism and party violations. When it comes to rape, Lewis is right: The Ad Board can neither issue subpoenas nor collect rape kits. But, if Lewis is going to encourage more women to take their sexual assault cases to court—as he says he will—then he must provide support for women who choose...
...incidents and revelations over the next few years damaged the club’s reputation further. A woman alleged she was raped by a Harvard student at the club in 1986, though the district attorney’s office dropped the complaint due to lack of evidence. An assault-and-battery was reported to Harvard police in 1987, Cambridge police arrested three men involved in a brawl outside the entrance to the club in 1989 and there were various complaints about naked men standing in the windows in the fall of 1990. The event that got the most attention...
