Dunster House Master Karel F. Liem will be in charge of deciding whether to investigate complaints that he was influenced by a tutor in the hiring of the tutor's brother, girl-friend and two longtime friends, Dean of the College L. Fred Jewett '57 said Wednesday...
...Although Jewett said he spoke to students and tutors about their concerns, the dean said he would play no role, formal or informal, in investigating allegations against Vincent...
...tutors with serious grievances would find numerous routes for redress. But the normal channels seemed closed for the Dunster House tutors. They said they feared retribution if they took their concerns to Masters Karel and Hetty Liem. And when they appealed to Dean of the College L. Fred Jewett '57--who is supposed to have administrative authority over the house system--they said they were told he could do nothing unless somebody filed a formal complaint...
...second problem--the administration's lack of response to serious ethical questions--is harder to address, and far more disturbing. Harvard has rules against nepotism; it should be up to University officials to make sure those rules are followed. Yet with the current administrative frame-work, Jewett lacks any real influence over house masters.

This alleged infringement on free expression is perhaps the most nefarious result of the entire Dunster debacle...
...productions, house shows, CityStep and other non-Loeb events. Without such an advisor, student theater and students' lives will be at risk. The Harvard administration has a responsibility to protect the lives of its students, and to provide students with meaningful drama education. I urge Dean Knowles and Dean Jewett to begin the process necessary to establish this position. Diana R. Graham '93 Immediate Past President, Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert & Sullivan Players
