...captors, he says, beat his feet and legs with a pipe until he could no longer feel them, thrashed his back and tied his genitals before forcing him to drink three bottles of water.

Hadi refused...
Between meetings at local A.A. chapters or the campus support group, resident coordinator Joe Veliz, a social-work grad student, provides an empathic ear and makes sure that students stick to their plans.

If Harvard is not willing to hold its Faculty to the same high scholarly standards as it does its students, then perhaps it should rethink its undergraduate plagiarism policy and do away with the charade of irreproachable academic integrity...
