...truth is that we consider Class Day to be very much a part of Commencement—in fact, it’s the day that is personalized to HLS and, in my own opinion, the most meaningful for our class,” Mattson wrote in an e-mail...

Lani Guinier, Harvard Law School (HLS) Boskey Professor of Law and the first black woman tenured at HLS, urged blacks in the audience to “take control of your environment” and to confront issues such as the lack of a constitutional provision—as opposed to just an amendment—that grants all citizens the right to vote...

...events, it is important not to conflate them. In Dershowitz’ case, for example, the charges against him—that he improperly omitted a secondary source from which he ostensibly obtained certain primary source citations—do not unambiguously point to plagiarism. On the other hand, HLS Dean Elena Kagan has labeled Ogletree’s offense “a serious scholarly transgression.” Ogletree defended his errors by explaining that the mistake resulted from an editing mix-up caused by his assistants. After Ogletree failed to recognize that he had never written...
