Students last spring participated in highly publicized sit-ins and demonstrations for faculty diversity at the Law School. The protests culminated in open hearings against nine law students who had occupied the office of the school's dean. The students eventually received warnings.
"Other parts of town people just want to beat you up," he explains, though he has had many run-ins with the Harvard and Cambridge police.
The Law School was rocked by students protests, sit-ins and vigils throughout the spring. Students demanded that more women and people of color be appointed to the faculty, which currently posts six Black and five women professors out of 66 tenured or tenure track faculty.
The term was also marked by an unsuccessful student lawsuit against the Law School, a series of sit-ins and disciplinary hearings, and open skirmishing between various faculty factions.
Elizabeth A. Moreno, a member of the coalition, says the University ignored a tradition of treating sit-ins as an acceptable form of protest. "Harvard has decided to go back to the fifties," she says.
