Under his consultation, Harvard uses the Medford-based Cavalier Coach Corporation as the general contractor for the majority of Harvard's reunion bus service. As it turns out, Murphy has personal and financial connections to that very company.
Oddly enough, Harvard's Vice President and General Counsel Margaret H. Marshall says she doesn't see why Murphy's ties to Cavalier represent a conflict of interest.
Murphy's financial ties to Cavalier go far beyond the standard shareholder's. Murphy carries a company credit card and can sign paychecks for company employees. In addition, the lieutenant acknowledges that he is a close personal friend of Cavalier's owner and president, Joan Libby--so close, in fact...
Jellis said she was unaware of Murphy's ties toCavalier. But when informed of the lieutenant'spersonal connection to the company, she said shewas not troubled by it. Jellis also said the busservice provided by Cavalier is excellent.
"We have a relationship with Larry Murphy, wehave a relationship with Cavalier Coach, we have arelationship with Joan Libby," Jellis said. "Thereunions are told they can use any bus companythey want."
