Two of Zeckhauser's assistants, Polly Price, associate vice president for human resources, and Kim A. Roberts '78, director of the office of labor and employee relations, served as experts on the University's labor policies, and bore the brunt of the committee's charge to gather as much data...
The Progressive Student Labor Movement (PSLM) targeted Roberts on several occasions, twice invading her office to agitate for a living wage of at least $10.25 per hour for all Harvard employees.
While Roberts had previously called the interruptions "disruptive," she said direct action by students did not affect her decision to resign. She instead expressed sympathy for their concerns.
Roberts, who spent much of career working on behalf of unions, said she appreciated students' attempts to affect Harvard policy, a reflection of her own activities as an undergraduate at the College.
James LaBua, currently deputy director of labor and employee relations, will assume Roberts' responsibilities on an interim basis.
