...most glaring instance is the continued inaction on the case of Professor Chester Hartman. For nearly two years now the Dean and Faculty of the GSD have been unable and apparently unwilling to resolve the matter. That Professor Hartman was dismissed in an arbitrary and unconsidered fashion continues to be clear to anyone who considers the evidence. That he is supported in his request for a fair hearing (under mechanisms set up by the GSD Faculty) by the GSD Alumni group, students, respected professionals and educators in planning, and other Harvard faculty apparently makes no difference...
...were two matches where Harvard stood a chance to pick up points. Navy has Eastern champions at 118, 134, and 142, and Navy coach Ed Peery feels that sophomores Robert Hartman (158) and John Christensen (167) are the heart of his line-up's strength...
...next five months, Hartman's charges were shelved while the Dean and Rogers reworked the Rogers Motion into an ad hoc proceeding designed expressly for Hartman's appeal.

The review committee was to report confidentially to the Dean, the same person who passed on Hartman's original dismissal. Unbelievably, the GSD Faculty accepted the ad hoc procedures...
That was six months ago. Still there is no review committee. Rogers has had to go beyond the original list to find even three members for the committee, and he and the Dean have maintained a policy of secrecy which extends to refusing to tell Hartman who has refused to serve. The result has been increasing wariness about the justness of proceedings...
...delay of Hartman's appeal has gone on long enough. Hartman deserves a hearing, a fair hearing, and yet Harvard seems reluctant to give him that. Perhaps the administration of the GSD is hoping that in a changing political climate, the Hartman case will diminish in importance until it is forgotten altogether. But it won't be, and to pretend it will can serve only to mar further the reputation of what is already Harvard's shoddiest graduate school...
