...sole and nearly-omnipotent disciplinary mechanism of Harvard College, the Administrative Board has, for the most part, succeeded in avoiding any kind of in-depth public scrutiny. Criticisms that the Ad Board should adopt court-like procedures have been deftly deflected by administrators who insist the board is an educational, rather than legal, institution. And, as ethics of privacy prevent public access to specific cases, it is difficult to gauge empirically whether these procedures are truly fair...

Recent signs, however, seem to indicate that the Ad Board, in its present state, is not adequately equipped to handle particular matters, especially when it is forced to step out of its proclaimed "educational" role and engage in substantive fact-finding. A case last spring involving sexual assault is one such instance; the women who brought forth the charge wrote, after the proceedings, that "the [Ad Board] system doesn't work. It is flawed.

For all cases, it would be ideal if students could select outside representation instead of having their options limited to representation by College officials. Further, the perceived fairness and accountability of the Ad Board could be greatly improved if students sat as members and if the records of the proceedings were made...

Conceding its own limitations, the Ad Board relies on the reports of disciplinary subcommittees in complicated cases. But whereas the Ad Board can conceivably distinguish itself from a court of law if it does not engage in fact-finding, a disciplinary subcommittee cannot. Subcommittees, like courts of law, interview the accused and accuser, examine witnesses and summarize their findings in a written report. No matter how hard the administration attempts to avoid using the language of the law, it is ultimately a semantic distortion to refer to such investigative disciplinary subcommittees--implicitly extensions of the Ad Board--as "educational" bodies...
