- BREAKING: A judge has DENIED almost all of Harvard's motion to dismiss the first nine counts of the lawsuit filed by three grad students against the school, alleging Harvard mishandled years of harassment complaints against professor John Comaroff. Story to come in @thecrimson.
- A truck was spotted today in Harvard Square and Allston displaying the names and photos of Harvard students who signed Saturday’s PSC statement. Above them, the words “Harvard’s leading antisemites.” Photo from a friend.
- Of note: the undergraduate response to this report on grade inflation at Harvard (which I think gets a lot right) has been one of almost unanimous derision. Here's what some students are saying anonymously via social media:
Harvard reports that it is “failing to perform the key functions of grading.” Its grading practices are “damaging the academic culture of the College.” “Faculty newly arrived at Harvard are surprised at how leniently our courses are graded.” Students say academics feel “fake.” - Breaking from @HaidarEmma and @cam_kettles (their first article on the Central Admin beat): Congress Widens Investigation into Harvard to Include Plagiarism Allegations Against President Claudine Gay | read now in @thecrimson thecrimson.com/article/2023/1…
