Harvard would do well to respond to the complaint on its own rather than continuing to fight its own students. The complaint is correct that sexual violence affects women much more than men and that the school’s failure to address sexual assault cases promptly can poison the educational environment for female students.

...know of its existence until mid-1995, when Saddam's defecting son-in-law Hussein Kamal revealed that secret labs buried in Iraq's security, not military, apparatus were cooking up deadly germs. Iraq subsequently admitted it made batches of anthrax bacteria, carcinogenic aflatoxin, agricultural toxins and the paralyzing poison botulinum. Iraqi officials reported they had loaded 191 bombs, including 25 missile warheads, with the poisons for use in the Gulf War. They said they destroyed them after the conflict, but they presented no proof, and Western officials don't believe them...
...would still face challenges putting them to use. There is no evidence that the Iraqis have built devices able to deliver chemical weapons beyond Iraq's borders. He does not seem to have perfected chemical-tipped missiles, or the fusing devices and sophisticated sprayers needed to release the poison before it hits the ground. As of now, Saddam's most effective use of lethal chemicals would involve stuffing them into artillery shells and firing them at invading troops...
...that airborne bombs can spray them effectively over large areas remains a challenge for Saddam's engineers. Nonetheless, a gram of anthrax could serve as a poor man's suitcase bomb: that's 1 trillion spores, enough for 100 million fatal doses. Hiding, transporting and disseminating that type of poison is relatively easy: no missiles are needed, just a crop duster, backpack sprayer, even a perfume atomizer...
