Granted, the Ad Board is not the KGB, and it is unlikely that miscarriages of justice occur so readily. But by all accounts, something is quite wrong with the punishment handed out in the case at hand. The facts are as follows: John Burnham, a football recruit from Washington, D.C., was taken to the D.U. one Saturday in February.

Moving beyond this specific case, what has Harvard done to ensure that things of this nature do not occur again? Dean of the College L.

Although women's sexually harassing men might be a very real concern, 'female seduction' in order to gain power seems an unlikely scenario in which any form of serious harassment might occur. Where a male is in a position of authority with respect to a female, and the female offers sexual favors in return for career advancement, the male has only two choices: accept or refuse. If he accepts, her attention can obviously not be called "unwanted"; there has been no sexual...
