Finally, your article includes what I would call errors not of fact but of spirit. You say “rulings are clear before it [the Ad Board] convenes.” That’s a surprise to me, as I regularly spent multiple hours in these meetings each week listening to and deliberating cases. Punishments are not, as you say, “one-size-fits-all”; we discuss the appropriate response for each case, based on the rules of the Faculty and the needs of the individual student.

When Michael J. Aziz taught an undergraduate course on thermodynamics, what began as a curious venture into the looming energy crisis turned into an urgent call to action. “I decided that I’d better become interested in this area and see where I could help,” said Aziz, a professor of materials science. In January, he will bring this passion to the classroom as part of the Harvard Graduate Consortium on Energy And Environment, a new program that will pool the intellectual resources of doctoral students across the University to help solve...
