Another disturbing implication of the report is that in order to make "a fair and reasonable evaluation" the ACSR will need to collect data for several years before taking any action. Harvard should quit stalling. The evidence the ACSR did succeed in gathering is clear. The blacks who work for these corporations are clustered at the bottom of the pay scale, and are destined to stay there as long as blacks in South Africa are denied basic political and economic rights. Even if the corporations adopted and enforced equitable labor practices, the corporations would still, by their very presence...
Another energy failure of sorts hit the following week when Harvard released its annual Financial Report. The report strongly suggested that inflation would necessitate yet another tuition increase, and the power of the dollar reached a new low at the Office of Fiscal Services...
After a semester of weekly meetings, the Advisory Committee on Shareholder Responsibility (ACSR) concluded the University should refrain from introducing shareholder resolutions in companies operating in South Africa except as a "last resort."

The committee recommendation contains a four-point proposal: (1) the University should promptly identify products bought from a company or subsidiary of a company about which an organization is concerned; (2) the organization interested in a boycott should report its intentions to the appropriate Faculty committee (in the case of undergraduate boycotts, CHUL) and present to the committee both pro and con arguments concerning the boycott; (3) the University should cease purchase of the product, if a substantial number of students stop using that product--provided there are substitutes available...
