...rash of incidents quickly revealed Harvard’s lackluster crime prevention and awareness programs. After one of the first assaults, administrators urged students to use SafetyWalk, a much-advertised volunteer-run walking escort service. But it was soon revealed that the program had quietly become defunct the previous year. What’s worse, while it had been Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) policy to send an e-mail to officials in the Harvard community within 48 hours of an assault, in many instances these e-mails languished in administrators’ inboxes, and many students did not receive...

It's taken Prime Minister Alkatiri and his escort almost three hours to make the hazardous road journey here, but at the end of his pep talk, he takes 90 minutes of questions. The main issue seems to be the security situation over the coming months, as U.N. forces are wound down. Alkatiri is also asked to explain himself over...
