...Done 183 times on a single person, each flood of water, each subsequent near-death experience, increases the possibility of debilitating and irreparable harm," says Brad Olson, a research professor of psychology at Northwestern University.

While the Harvard community rightly values workers on campus, in the end Harvard’s primary mission as a teaching and research institution must come before protecting unnecessary jobs. SLAM defies that primary goal by stifling academic debate through their coercive approach, and creating a divisive, charged environment inconducive to the cooperation our university needs to productively address the crisis it faces...
