...rulings are clear before it [the Ad Board] convenes.” That’s a surprise to me, as I regularly spent multiple hours in these meetings each week listening to and deliberating cases. Punishments are not, as you say, “one-size-fits-all”; we discuss the appropriate response for each case, based on the rules of the Faculty and the needs of the individual student. We take seriously both these rules and these needs, with the goal of best serving both the students that come before us and serving the larger Harvard...
...normal guy off the field: quiet, reserved, and noticeably polite. A human evolutionary biology concentrator and aspiring doctor, Hanson is truly dedicated to his schoolwork off the field. You can usually find him sporting an abnormally large backpack as he fixes his retainer with his index finger. Neither his size nor his demeanor gives off the typical airs of a football player, but his performances on the field tell the story.“The kids love him, he’s one of the top five most sincerely humble guys on the team,” Harvard coach...

Or the 13-oz. box of Fruit Rice cereal ($1.69). "You wouldn't be embarrassed to have that on your counter," says...
...most exclusive bars, later claiming the events were intended to motivate the city's disaffected youth. That he insisted on a 21-person security team drew ridicule from local residents and politicians, who were quick to note that even the mayor of Chicago, a city three times the size of Detroit, only required 15 bodyguards. He routinely donned a diamond-studded earring and wore flashy suits, even as the city's budget crisis deepened and its population dwindled - threatening its rank as the nation's 11th-largest city. In 2005, a local TV reporter revealed that Kilpatrick had leased...
