...crackdown is its manner of interaction with student groups. The College has shown little-to-no interest in learning about the social situations and pressures students actually encounter, and how its policies might affect their circumstances.

As part of its new measures, Harvard will not provide any money to fund events at which alcohol is present unless there is a Beverage Authorization Team present to enforce the legal drinking age, nor will it disburse funds collected from the $75 student activities fee prior to the UC’s submission of receipts for a given event.
