Following the recommendation of an external review into Harvardâs police department, a newly formed committee comprised of affiliates spanning the University that will advise the departmentâs leadership held its inaugural meeting last month.
University President Lawrence S. Bacow announced the department review in June 2020 on the heels of student outrage over the presence of HUPD officers monitoring a protest in Boston following the murder of George Floyd, a Black man, by Minneapolis police.
The external review produced a more comprehensive probe into HUPD than an internal review set in motion in February 2020 in response to an investigation by The Crimson that found repeated instances of racism and sexism in the department and held the departmentâs leadership responsible for perpetuating a toxic culture among officers.

Harvard undergraduates residing on campus said they were surprised and excited after the Dean of Students Office announced the College would move into âLevel 3: Yellowâ of its campus reopening plan Monday.
In December, the College announced a color-coded system to indicate the different phases of campus reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic, with the most restrictive campus guidelines occurring under âLevel 0: Purpleâ and the least restrictive under âLevel 5: Green.â
In Level Three, students can reserve slots for individual use at common spaces, such as the Smith Campus Center, Memorial Hall, Malkin Athletic Center, and the Student Organization Center at Hilles. In addition, each student can host another on-campus student in their suite and will be allowed to travel within a 10-mile radius of campus.
