Hilda M. Jordan: We re the Chosen Few that allegedly have made it and, you know, are the âgolden ones,â quote unquote, by Harvard s own, you know, reputation â and not even that can save us while walking home.
Lawrence S. Bacow: Here in Harvard Yard, we must embrace diversity in every possible dimension
Adela Cepeda: I felt that the University didn t know how to even categorize us, at least on the Latino side.
Harvard administrators outlined responses the University has taken regarding the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey E. Epsteinâs ties to Harvard during a monthly meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Tuesday.
After University President Lawrence S. Bacow initiated a review into Epsteinâs ties to Harvard in 2019, the committee recommended in 2020 that Harvard revise its policies concerning external gifts as well as those regarding appointments of visiting fellows.
Bacow said Tuesday one of the changes the University made after the report was increasing vetting of external gifts prior to acceptance. University Provost Alan M. Garber â76 additionally reminded faculty of the Universityâs gift policy guide released in May 2020.
The Harvard School of Public Health developed and ran a novel hybrid course this spring in which 16 instructors rotated teaching 3-hour lectures for a class of 34 first-year international students.
Last summer, the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement banned international first-year students taking all-online course loads from remaining in the U.S. Organized in response to these federal restrictions, HSPH’s new hybrid course ID 900: “Current Topics in Public Health” enables international first-years to learn in person and thereby live on campus this semester.
Nancy Turnbull, senior associate dean for educational programs at HSPH, wrote in an emailed statement that students in the ID 900 hybrid program are the only HSPH students taking courses with in-person instruction.
