As a result of his court conviction, Douglas is serving 18 months of house arrest and is barred from returning to Harvard or contacting the woman he assaulted for five years. But even after that, his dismissal will likely be permanent.

"Dismissal is the strongest sanction that has been voted in modern times for disciplining a student," the statement continued.
