...Crimson’s Fifteen Minutes published “The Invasian?? by Juice Fong ’03, which argued—albeit clumsily—that self-segregation between races was endemic at Harvard. The piece was justifiably attacked as making insensitive, disparaging remarks about Harvard’s Asian population, leading to the retraction of the article and an apology by The Crimson after public protest.

...right to voice his opinion in print, as the First Amendment states and as I believe, why was the organization that allowed his piece to be printed so quick to withdraw its support? I find the statements of March 19 (Opinion, “On ‘The Invasian??”) and March 20 (“To Our Readers”) disappointing because they imply an unwillingness to take responsibility for the end result of the editorial process. If the Fifteen Minutes editors allowed “The Invasion” to be printed...
