...conference, sponsored by the National Student Coalition Against Racism, will continue through tomorrow and will include panel discussions and workshops...
...dispute centers on whether Harvard has "failed" to officially recognize Glenn E. "Buddy" Diamond '78, Brown-Beasley's student nominee to the three-member appeal panel. Harvard argues that it has notified Brown-Beasley of its recognition directly and Diamond indirectly--by sending him a photocopy of its letter to Brown-Beasley. University officials also state that they have no right not to recognize Diamond and therefore no real obligation to recognize him officially.

Yet it is hard to understand why Steiner--who for one need not, as Brown-Beasley notes, ultimately rule on the case--will not respond to certain fundamental procedural questions Brown-Beasley has raised. These questions include: 1) questions about the possible bias permitted in the list of candidates...
