Harvard made the switch—the University claimed—because subcontracting is more efficient and that as an educational institution, negotiating security contracts is not a main concern. Harvard, however, is not just an educational institution.

The problem is that involuntary commitment was the norm four decades ago; family members, doctors and law enforcement could easily commit troubled souls to psychiatric hospitals with scant paperwork and little concern for individual or privacy rights.
