Cornell said the telescope is the center's response to a national need in astronomy to advance the study of unexplored regions and stellar occurrences using "sub-millimeter waves"--radiation with a wavelength of less than a millimeter. "This is the spearhead of a national drive in astrophysics to advance study in this area," he said...

If Harvard can shut the Pi Eta down because of the club's initiation rites, it can certainly do so on the basis of this (especially given that it is already on probation). Harvard has demonstrated its muscle in cases of student misconduct, under similar circumstances...
