...data to the commission have claimed that their research does not justify the report's finding of a causal link between pornography and violence.

Harvard's involvement with the CIA has been under scrutiny since it was revealed that government professors Nadav Safran and Samuel P. Huntington gave the CIA censorship rights and agreed not to disclose CIA funding for work they did for the agency.
