...final clubs on campus, more than one year ago. It has been revealed recently, however, that Harvard Real Estate has continued to rent space in Holyoke Center for use by the final clubs--space that is formally available only to Harvard affiliates.

That letter criticized the campaign of three graduates running for the board by petition and on a pro-divestment platform. A blatant attempt to influence the election elicited strong protests from alumni. Yet, not only did the University officials defend their misguided attempt to tamper with an election, Derek Bok failed to present his whole involvement in the decision to send the letter. Not until the press confronted him with the facts...
