...these objections ignore the fact that Harvard does own the real estate it currently leases to JP Licks and has the right to bring in the tenants it wants. As a university, Harvard has a vested interest in leasing to businesses that together can provide a certain type of collegiate community geared toward the interests and needs of students. The university clearly judged that JP Licks was one of those businesses, and, as much as we have appreciated Herrell’s service over the past three decades, we have no complaint about the role Harvard may have played...

In fact, they continue to treat physical assault as a kind of sport. Police say there are more than 100 Japanese websites devoted to groping techniques, and the methods have become more heinous and sophisticated.
