...campaign (not counting the Harvard Independent). His organization had been gearing up for months, however, and included such high-powered figures as Ann Lewis of Massachusetts, former special assistant to Major Kevin White and sister to State Rep.

There are several reasons why escape appears unlikely. First, the long report of the Hartman Review Committee suffers from ambiguity and information gaps that will prevent the faculty from resolving the affair without another in-depth review. Secondly, broad questions of what due process and academic freedom mean in practical application requires University-level study and definition...
