Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) reports--which are faxed to administrators whenever HUPD transports students to UHS--sometimes indicate if incidents are alcohol-related, says HUPD spokesperson Peggy McNamara
And--in violation of official UHS policy--medical staff at UHS have informed administrators that students have been admitted for alcohol abuse.
Two former assistant deans of freshmen say administrators will often call and ask students why they were admitted to UHS, and students, hesitant to refuse to give the information or lie, will often tell them.
Lewis says it is not surprising that administrators sometimes find out if a student goes to UHS for an alcohol-related illness. But this is not necessarily undesirable, he writes in an e-mail, as it allows administrators to intervene if the incident is symptomatic of a larger problem.
If nothing else, a significant portion of the campus is confused about an alcohol policy that promises confidentiality at UHS in some matters--but not in others.
