...Jewish alumni were viewing "Harvard's Arabian Nights." We were present when Queen Noor of Jordan opened the exhibition "Monumental Islamic Calligraphy," brought to the museum at the request of then-NELC Professor Annemarie Schimmel, and met with Mrs. Joy Ungerleider-Mayerson who later established the Dorot Professorship which Stager now holds. We were honored be trained for "The City of David: Discoveries From the Excavations" by Tamar Shiloh, the widow of Yigal Shiloh who excavated the site. The Semitic Museum was a small place where visitors could enjoy an intimacy not found in other places. The wonderful comments...
...wish to laud the loyalty of the four graduate students in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization (NELC) who came to the defense of their professor, Lawrence E. Stager, in their letter to you published on December 10, 1993. But since they are also candidates for a degree at a university whose motto is "Veritas," we wish to correct some of their erroneous statements...
...salaries and qualifications of the current staff, we will let the reviews of our exhibitions and lecture series, our publications, and our colleagues at sister institutions all over the world speak for themselves. (May we know how information from our personnel files was available to Stager's students?) We would be glad to share with the students some of the dozens of letters which have been written on our behalf by professors, curators and other school since Stager began his campaign against Gavin and the museum's staff...
...famous fax faux pas. We are grateful to Eileen Caves, Stager's assistant, for shedding light on the technical and ethical aspects of reading other people's communications (Crimson, December 11, 1993). Caves assures us that Stager consulted with the general counsel's office regarding the legality of reading the carbon copies in the cartridge of the fax machine. Stager, Caves continues, was told that the carbon could be classified as "abandoned material that was left in a public place," and was therefore public information. Since Caves transcribed faxes over a long period of time, she must have removed cartridges...
Since no one at Harvard has so far publicity denounced Stager's behavior, we should not be astonished that his students condone his actions. Deeds speak louder than words, and there is no use in offering students two hundred courses in ethics, when a senior faculty member sees nothing wrong in spying on his staff (as well as having access to all the faxes sent by NELC and by the Center for Jewish Studies who share the same fax machine.) We do not care whether reading letters not addressed to him was legal or not, and would like to refer...
