...presence in this role represents a conflict of interest, since they also handle academic matters and are part of the residential community. These multiple roles may dissuade students from coming forward. This problem could be avoided if Harvard hired an advocate who could not only guide survivors through the Ad Board process and steer students towards appropriate counseling resources, but who was not a part of the college administration and thus could help students work through choices about legal and disciplinary options without any conflict of interest...
...Committee is nevertheless poised to make strong recommendations regarding discipline. It has been studying sexual violence at Harvard—including disciplinary concerns—for almost a year, conducting hundreds of hours of interviews with experts and with students. It is thus better qualified to comment on the Ad Board than the relatively unknown committee that originally recommended the corroboration rule without soliciting any input from the student body and without consulting with experts.

We have been assured that the curricular review and the Ad Board are top priorities and will therefore fall under the new deanship, but what does that mean for everything else? Will Gross and his successors remember that cable television and better shuttle service are top student priorities? Will they care about keycard access, our pitiful MAC, and student group office space? It seems all too likely that, instead...
