...material facts are not in dispute. Harvard University is a private educational institution, and the HUPD provides campus security. Some officers of the HUPD have been appointed special State police officers pursuant to G.L. c. 22C, § 63, and some HUPD officers are deputy sheriffs in Middlesex and Suffolk counties. On June 2, 2003, the Harvard Crimson, Inc. (Crimson), a daily student newspaper, requested certain documents from the Cambridge police department and the HUPD, pursuant to G.L. c. 66, § 10. The Crimson subsequently made a request for documents from the Boston police department. It sought "all records, including...

As the child of Dominican immigrants, raised in what he describes as the ghetto...
...enjoy police powers—the authority to stop, question, detain, formally arrest, use force, and interrogate suspects—not because University Hall wills it to be so, but because they are recognized police under the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and its officers are deputized by the Middlesex and Suffolk County sheriffs and the colonel of the state police. If HUPD seeks this extra power—which few other campus police offficers enjoy—it is only fair that they accept the reporting responsibilities when they swear allegiance to uphold the Constitution of the Commonwealth and not simply...
...schools.” Back at the Common, the crowd swelled to about 200 as students from six other colleges and several high schools joined the Harvard contingent. “We cannot have a democracy and live in lies,” a lecturer in philosophy from Suffolk University, Jeffrey Johnson, told the crowd. He added that the Bush administration’s handling of the Iraq war is “no different than Hitler’s Germany or Mussolini’s Italy.” Yesterday’s protests were part of a larger...
