Like Summers’ comments about Israel, the basic message about Darfur took advantage of the gravitas of the Harvard name. While the United Nations waffled on what word to apply to the mass murder, displacement, and rape going on in the Sudan, Harvard stated that the genocide in Darfur was something the University took very seriously.

Another two college students were dismissed in 1999, one after pleading guilty in Middlesex Superior Court to rape and one after pleading guilty in a separate case to indecent assault and battery. One graduate student was dismissed in 1997—the reasons for that dismissal were kept private.
