While Harvard still enforces the ban, the protests of a number of coaches may have had some impact. L.

Other than agreeing that we felt Manufacturers should establish a policy of assessing the likely social impact of each loan to the government, the ACSR could not agree on how to recommend to Harvard to vote its proxy shares.
