Ex-Undergrad Fights Motion

By Michelle G. Kurilla Crimson Staff Writer

­ormer Harvard undergradF uate Damilare Sonoiki ’13 opposed Harvard’s motion to dismiss his lawsuit last Friday, alleging the College unfairly refused to grant him his bachelor’s degree.

On Oct. 21, 2019, Sonoiki filed a suit in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts arguing Harvard should not have withheld his degree after three fellow students accused him of sexual assault. The Administrative Board — which adjudicated complaints of sexual harassment in 2013 — ultimately found the allegations against Sonoiki credible and recommended his dismissal.

Sonoiki did not receive his degree because of the pending Ad Board review of the first two allegations, though he spoke as the Harvard Orator on Class Day and walked at graduation.

Five days after Commencement, a third woman filed an additional complaint against him.

The Administrative Board eventually found Sonoiki responsible for the conduct he was accused of on Nov. 19, 2013

The New Gen Ed Lottery, Explained

By Kevin R. Chen Crimson Staff Writer

I­n previous years, many instructors teaching courses in the College’s required General Education program independently ran lotteries to keep their courses from going over enrollment capacity. As a result, many lotteries ran on different timelines and criteria.

Starting this spring, that will change. The Gen Ed office will pilot a new coordinated lottery system, asking students to rank their Gen Ed course choices and seek enrollment in one or more courses through a single randomized process.

The new semester starts in a week — and with it, course shopping and enrollment. To help navigate the new Gen Ed lottery system, here’s a primer on the process.

and recommended that the Faculty Council dismiss him from the College. The Council later assented.

The University filed its motion to dismiss Sonoiki’s suit in December. On Jan. 17, Sonoiki’s lawyers opposed the motion.

Sonoiki’s lawyers wrote in the opposition that Harvard subjected him to “a byzantine process without jurisdiction” as they reviewed the allegations of sexual misconduct and decided whether he would receive his diploma.

“Rather than addressing the crux of the Complaint, Harvard misrepresents not just Damilare’s claims, falsely suggesting that he seeks criminal trial-like rights, but even its own documents. As discussed below, these misrepresentations should leave the Court exasperated,” they wrote.

Sonoiki expected to receive his degree and for the Ad Board to lose jurisdiction. He alleges that the University denied him his choice of personal advisor, according to the opposition to the motion.

­ Cambridge District Court A judge arraigned two individuals on Friday after Cambridge police officers responded to a report of an armed man in Harvard Square and apprehended him and a woman in Central Square last week.

At approximately 3:20 p.m. on Jan. 16, the Cambridge Police Department apprehended Chayanne Velazquez, 28, of Dorchester, Mass. and Stephanie Ford, 25, of Lynn, Mass. after receiving a report of an armed man in the area of 36 JFK St. in Harvard Square. Police said in a press release that Velazquez was taken into custody after lifting his shirt to reveal a firearm in front of a group of men.

Police conducted a search and located Velazquez as well as a second suspect, Ford, in the area of Chipotle Mexican Grill in Central Square, according

to a Cambridge police press release about the case.

CPD officers also took Ford into custody after they found a second loaded gun concealed inside her backpack.

Harvard sent an alert to University affiliates about the armed individual over the MessageMe system, asking those in the area to take shelter.

CPD also tweeted about the presence of a “possible person with gun.”

Velazquez appeared in court Friday before Cambridge District Court First Justice Roanne Sragow for his arraignment, and was represented by attorney Jonathan Etesse.

After his arraignment on Friday, Sragow charged Velazquez with five separate counts related to a verbal altercation in Harvard Square during which he displayed a gun.

The charges included assault with a dangerous

City to Fund Public Space Improvements

By Maria G. gonzalez Crimson Staff Writer

­ ambridge will allocate $1.125 C million from its fiscal year 2021 budget to fund eight public space improvement projects proposed by residents, according to the Cambridge Participatory Budgeting website.

These projects include initiatives to plant 100 trees in Cambridge, provide free water bottle filling stations in the major squares, and build a third standalone public restroom in the city.

The participatory budgeting process aims to improve public spaces and foster civic engagement by encouraging residents to propose community-oriented projects. Soliciting resident input helps ensure that the city’s budget “reflects the priorities of Cambridge residents,” according to the Participatory Budgeting website.

geting cycle in Cambridge ran from May to December 2019.

The city included 20 out of over 1,600 proposals submitted on the final ballot. Both Cambridge residents 12 years and older — regardless of citizenship status — and university students living in the city were eligible to vote for their top five proposal choices in December.

Over 7,600 residents voted on the final ballot, marking the highest voter turnout yet for the participatory budget process in Cambridge, according to the Participatory Budgeting website.

A proposal entitled “Close the Canopy” won the most support, receiving over 4,600 votes. Under this proposal, the city will plant 100 trees in areas of Cambridge with the lowest canopy cover — an initiative the city expects to cost $200,000.

­ tudents across Harvard creatS ed a coalition demanding that Harvard stop displaying, publishing, and selling the rights to the images of two enslaved people late last year.

Created in December, the student group — dubbed the Harvard Coalition to Free Renty — seeks to spread student awareness about a lawsuit against Harvard centering on the daguerreotype photos, according to the group’s founder Meredith N. McKinney.

Tamara K. Lanier — who says she is Renty’s great-greatgreat-granddaughter — filed suit against Harvard in March, alleging that the University unlawfully possesses and profits from the photos, which depict an enslaved father and daughter named Renty and Delia. Harvard biologist Louis Agassiz commissioned the images in the 19th century to support his theory of white superiority. They are believed to be some of the oldest existing images of American slaves.

In her lawsuit, Lanier demanded the University give her the daguerreotypes, cede any profits made from them, and pay her punitive damages. She also asked that Harvard acknowledge “it was complicit in perpetuating and justifying the institution of slavery.”

McKinney, a Harvard Extension School student, said she began advocating for Lanier after she learned about the daguerreotypes through a course project. She started reaching out to student associations on campus and asking their leadership to inform members about Lanier’s case and the coalition’s efforts. The coalition currently comprises roughly 35 students across the University, according to McKinney.

“For Harvard to take a position where they’re fighting against families to maintain ownership of that family’s image and their history was

HMC Invests in Avocado Company

By Ellen M. Burstein and Camille G. Caldera Crimson Staff Writers

The Harvard Management Company adjusted its natural resource portfolio this week by purchasing a minority stake in produce company Westfalia Fruit International and selling its investments in two Australian farms.

HMC — the University’s investment arm — manages Harvard’s endowment, which is currently valued at $40.9 billion. HMC’s natural resource investments, which comprised 4 percent of the endowment, saw 12.4 percent losses in fiscal year 2019, compared to 6.5 percent returns on all investments that year.

HMC aimed to “refine” its natural resources assets after the endowment’s value dropped almost $2 billion during the 2016 fiscal year. HMC CEO N.P. “Narv” Narvekar wrote in the University’s Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2019 that one of the company’s goals was to “reduce our exposure to natural resources.”

Since Narvekar took over as CEO in Dec. 2016, HMC has decreased its natural resource assets by more than half. In the 2019 financial report, Narvekar wrote that HMC “completely ­

rebuilt” a team to manage these investments.

Westfalia Fruit — a multinational company specializing in avocado production — announced the sale to HMC in a press release on Friday.

“The decision to partner with HMC was an easy one, given our similar values and commitment to sustainable business principles,” Alk Brand, the CEO of Westfalia, said in the release. “This transaction positions us well for pursuing strategic objectives within the global Group and significantly contributes towards our vision of being a leader in the global avocado industry.”

HMC’s Managing Director of Natural Resources Colin Butterfield said in the release that HMC is “excited” for the opportunity to work with Westfalia.

“Westfalia is a global leader in the avocado market with a commitment to environmentally sustainable management,” Butterfield said. “Its vertically integrated operations are uniquely positioned to benefit from the growth in global avocado consumption and make it a great fit for our portfolio.”

Vertical integration is a strategy where companies own the supply chain for their products.

Arraign From Page 1

Westfalia’s vertically integrated supply chain allows them to “grow, source and ripen, pack, process and market quality avocados and other produce – across the year and across the globe,” according to its website.

Andrew A. Whitman — the Director of the Stable Economies Program at Manomet, a nonprofit research organization that focuses on sustainability — cited vertical integration as a reason Westfalia is a “quality investment” for HMC. Whitman said vertical integration allowed for products to become “more profitable” and “more resilient, in terms of things like climate change.”

In addition to its investment in Westfalia, HMC sold its investments in a cotton farm and almond farm in New South Wales to to the Boston-based Hancock Agricultural Investment Group for more than $120 million Monday, according to the Australian Financial Review.

The continuous properties cover around 77 square miles and include cotton, wheat, barley, and canola crops, as well as an almond orchard.

Whitman said HMC may have sold these investments due to water scarcity in Australia.

“Australia is, in some areas, something of a water challenged environment,” he said.

“My hunch is that it’s making a lot of investors review their investments there carefully to understand whether or not they’re well situated to continue in that environment.”

The decision to partner with HMC was an easy one.

Alk Brand Westfalia Fruit CEO

Despite the challenges, Whitman said the properties are not necessarily “bad investments.”

“It may be that Harvard found that they were not well positioned to make the most of those investments,” he said.

So far, HMC has sold over $1.1 billion of “good, but misaligned” natural resource assets to “more appropriate investors,” per the 2019 report.

Narvekar wrote in the report that HMC expected to close on the sale of “close to another $200 million” of these assets in the remainder of the fiscal year. ellen.burstein@thecrimson.com camille.caldera@thecrimson.com

City to Fund Public Spaces states that trees are “among the best ways to combat climate change and reduce the urban heat island effect,” in which the modification of land surfaces in urban areas leads to significantly higher temperatures.

An initiative to install water bottle filling stations in the major squares of Cambridge garnered the second highest number of votes. In 2018, residents voted to install water stations in every park in Cambridge. In the most recent cycle, the city will allocate $150,000 to add stations to city squares.

A $350,000 proposal to build a third standalone outdoor public restroom in a high foot traffic area is the highest-budget approved this cycle. The city plans to install a “Portland Loo,” a specially designed restroom that is both easy to clean and a crime deterrent .

Cambridge City Manager Louis A. DePasquale, who will fully fund the public restroom project, said in a December press release that participatory budgeting encourages Cantabrigians to rethink ways they can be involved.

“When people think about finance and the budget process, they don’t necessarily think about community engagement, but we continue to change that perspective with Participatory Budgeting,” DePasquale said in

Two Arraigned Students Support Suit Over Slave Images After Gun Incident weapon, carrying a firearm without a carrying a firearm without a license, carrying a loaded firearm without a license, threatening to commit a crime, and distributing Class B drugs, according to the Cambridge District Court clerk’s office.

Velazquez is currently being held without bail until his detention hearing, which is currently scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Jan. 23.

Ford, the second suspect arrested in connection with the Harvard Square gun incident, was also arraigned on Friday.

Ford faces three charges including carrying a firearm without a license, carrying a loaded firearm without a li-

cense, and distribution of Class B drugs, according to the Cambridge clerk’s office.

Ford’s bail was set at $2,500 on Friday and a pretrial hearing is scheduled for next month on Feb. 14.

Last summer, Cambridge Police officers arrested a suspected armed man in Harvard Square who was wanted following a homicide in Philadelphia, Penn.

The arrest last summer occurred 30 minutes after Harvard affiliates received an alert over the MessageMe system that there was a “potentially armed” individual near JFK and Eliot Streets. charles.xu@thecrimson.com

deeply concerning to me as a student,” McKinney said.

“It bruised my pride in my affiliation with this University in a big way, big enough to make me start asking a lot of questions around campus and engaging with student associations,” she added.

The coalition has since been collecting signatures on an online petition calling on Harvard to cease using the images of Renty and Delia.

In the coming months, the coalition plans to organize academic discussions about topics relevant to the case. Topics covered will include reparations, legal burdens placed on descendants of slaves to demonstrate lineage, and property laws that dictate how institutions like Harvard maintain ownership

of family images.

Defending Harvard’s position in the lawsuit, University President Lawrence S. Bacow said in an April interview that the University legally possesses the images and that the Harvard Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology displays them to convey the slaves’ humanity.

The lawsuit — along with other recent events — has forced Harvard to confront its fraught relationship with slavery.

Bacow and Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to the United States are currently exploring educational partnerships after the country’s prime minister sent a letter to Bacow requesting reparations for the school’s ties to slavery.

Before Bacow’s tenure, for-

mer University President Drew G. Faust, along with United States Representative John R. Lewis (D-Ga.), dedicated a plaque to four enslaved persons who lived and worked on campus in the 18th century. Faust also accepted a Harvard Law School committee’s recommendation to replace its seal, which previously featured the crest of a slaveholding family.

Discussions about the slave trade’s legacy at Harvard came to a head last year, when Bacow introduced a University-wide initiative to address and further research the school’s ties to slavery in November. Bacow selected Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Dean Tomiko Brown-Nagin to head the initiative and named 12 additional faculty members to the presi-

dential committee she will lead.

While McKinney said the initiative is a “step in the right direction,” she said she was concerned about the lack of student representation on the faculty committee. She argued this makes the coalition’s efforts to bring students into the conversation still more important.

University spokesperson Jonathan L. Swain wrote in an email that Brown-Nagin and the faculty committee have yet to determine the “scope” of the activities the initiative will undertake at this “early stage.”

“She and President Bacow are, however, both committed to seeing that students are engaged in the initiative,” he wrote. amanda.su@thecrimson.com

Our Kids Will Be Better

A Better Climate Playbook

By linda lee

S

omeday, our kids will grow up better than we did. They will have an entire room dedicated to playtime with gentle foam tiles to romp around and different toys for every day of the week.

They will sleep in the finest cribs, crafted from rich oak or deep mahogany, under a ceiling as high as the sky where chandeliers glitter like the stars.

They will fall asleep not to the sound of gunshots or muted arguments but to the sweet sound of silence.

Someday, our kids will eat better than we did. They will have traveled around the world using only their tongues, sampling the best delicacies each nation has to offer.

They will come back from soccer practice or violin lessons to a hot meal waiting for them at the dinner table.

They will never know what a hungry stomach feels like, a stomach so empty that its grumbling protests disrupt a classroom or make them redden with shame.

Someday, our kids will learn better

Someday, our kids will learn better than we did. They will roam the hallways of our nation’s best private schools and discover opportunities that will open doors from which we were shut out. than we did.

They will roam the hallways of our nation’s best private schools and discover opportunities that will open doors from which we were shut out.

They will excel on all their exams, thanks to the experienced guidance of

private tutors and prep courses. They may even find themselves sitting on the same unreasonably overpriced lawn chairs in the Yard just as we did, discovering friends who traveled to the same extravagant countries as them. They will get to where we are today — but not from the same path we took.

Our kids will be better.

Isn’t that why we’re all here? Isn’t that why our parents came here? Somehow, by the sheer power of survival, we claimed our spots in an institution that was not meant for us.

We eat, sleep, and study with people from all different walks of life, including ones we only fantasized about. When we graduate from these brick walls, we will have the opportunity to give our children the lives we never had and the privilege that we witnessed but could never touch.

For many of us, we will be changing the tides of our generations, introducing newfound wealth and status. We will be paving a gilded road for our descendents, and it will be unprecedented. We are the first generation. And our kids will be even better.

So why does it feel so wrong?

Part of me wants to give my future child the secure, cushioned life I never had. Part of me grew up resenting those who had that lifestyle. Despite the struggles I’ve faced, I don’t regret any aspect of my upbringing, for it shaped me into who I am today.

My childhood taught me how to empathize with someone else’s pain, how to always appreciate what I have, how to stay humble, and how to be patient in the face of adversaries.

I want to spoil my child with a perfect life, but I consider the good, the bad, and even the ugly parts of my life to be the foundation of strengths and values that I consider to be more valuable than any luxury toy or extravagant vacation.

So what does it mean for my kid if they grow up shielded from these hardships? How do you raise a child to have a life that you yourself have never known?

So what does it mean for my kid if they grow up shielded from these hardships? How do you raise a child to have a life that you yourself have never known?

This is the greatest paradox I have grappled with during my time at Harvard.

My four years at this institution will touch the lives of my children and my children’s children like a ripple of energy, and I have no idea what to expect.

From the moment I stepped foot onto Harvard’s campus, I’ve been treading uncharted waters.

Every decision I’ve made has been the first of its kind, regardless of whether it has been a step in the right direction or a catastrophic mistake.

And wherever I end up after these years of blind, terrifying exploration will mark the spot where my child begins their life, too.

Our kids will indeed be better. But it’s up to us to understand what “better” truly means. We are the bridge between two spheres of life, bringing together generations of hardship with generations of opportunity.

We are the ones who are most familiar with both sides, so it is up to us to translate the lessons of our past into the dreams of our future, lest we lose sight of the strength, survival, and struggles that have grounded our values and the values

Stop Criticizing My Concentration Choice

“O

h, you’re so lucky. If I didn’t have to worry about my career I’d concentrate in WGS too!” a male upperclassman said in a way that almost made it feel like a compliment. I couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of the timing. At the very moment he asked what my intended concentration was, I was rushing to a meeting with a pre-law advisor after a shift at my workstudy job.

During my first semester of freshman year, I’ve shared with people both within and beyond Harvard that I intend to pursue a joint concentration in History & Literature and Studies of Women, Gender, & Sexuality, and I’ve been met with some unexpectedly inconsistent judgments about the practicality of concentration choice. And quite frankly, I’m already tired of it.

The negativity surrounding my concentration choice began on the day before I left home for pre-orientation with my allergist, who said, “You’re thinking of majoring in history? What do you want to be, a ski instructor?” and then laughed. I can’t ski, let alone can I even begin to address the extent to which that comment is problematic, offensive, and simply inaccurate.

The negativity continued in more subtle ways when I got to campus, when many of my peers seemed to establish a dichotomy between selecting a concentration that would lead to a successful and profitable future and choosing a concentration that they found intellectually engaging. I find that dichotomy problematic not only because I don’t believe it’s true, but also because it threatens the important role of intellectual curiosity in the classroom.

I’m already tired of fellow students

“You’re thinking of majoring in history? What do you want to be, a ski instructor? or even encourage, the inclusion of personal experience or subjective analysis in the pursuit of constructing more nuanced arguments, as many humanities courses do.

To be clear, I don’t believe I should have to justify my decision to follow my passions and choose the concentrations I’m most interested in. But the assumption that humanities or social sciences concentrations are “easy” is just plain wrong.

I discovered just how hard History & Literature would be after receiving extensive comments on my first essay for a class intended to prepare prospective Hist and Lit students for the concentration— comments that pushed me to deepen my analysis and tighten my argument in ways I’ve never been asked to consider before. Essays are all-encompassing in the best ways, and I find myself unable to pull myself away in the days I’m developing my argument. And I discovered just how hard WGS would be after reading two sentences of Judith Butler in a class this fall. Until you have read Judith Butler at midnight in preparation for a midterm, let’s not talk about how I should appreciate all the “free time” I have with-

out 3-hour organic chemistry labs.

Many of my fellow students would argue that despite how difficult the humanities might truly be, other concentrations are simply more practical in the 21st century.

Implicit in this argument is the belief that humanities concentrations do not prepare students for their future careers as well as science or math concentrations do. I don’t believe this is true. But even if it were, why would one try to dictate the future by prescribing decisions in the present?

The upperclassman who commented on my choice of concentration was connecting our current decisions and our future careers. The perception of concentrations as falling into two mutually exclusive camps — intellectually stimulating in the present but leading to a lifetime of financial struggle vs. unfulfilling in the present but leading to a future of wealth — assumes a narrow definition of success and removes the love of learning from our college experience. This view turns our Harvard experience into a transaction.

Of course, I can’t overlook that this upperclassman was specifically commenting on WGS as a concentration that was incompatible with a future career — or, at the very least, a lucrative future career. The inherent sexism of his comments suggesting that I, as a woman, was lucky that I didn’t need to worry about my future profession reinforces the very need for gender studies.

This is a very basic problem with a very basic solution. The fact that I have to say this is surprising, and the solution is in all of our hands.

t this year’s Harvard-Yale game, fans came to watch the teams in one of America’s oldest football rivalries. They were treated to a political stunt instead.

Dozens of Harvard and Yale students stormed the field at halftime to demand each school purge its endowments of fossil fuel assets and holdings of Puerto Rican debt, delaying the game by nearly an hour. As president of the Harvard Republican Club, I share the protesters’ concern about climate change. Rising greenhouse gas emissions pose serious risks to the U.S. economy and must be addressed. However, in both style and substance, the divestment protesters missed the mark. Their approach won’t solve the climate problem and could even distract from the market-based solutions that will actually make a difference.

At its core, the divestment movement misconstrues the climate challenge. It unjustly demonizes fossil fuel companies as the sole culprits of climate change and falsely suggests that divesting endowments of their shares will improve the situation. It ignores the fact that we all use and benefit from fossil fuels on a daily basis — from the energy that powers pregame tailgates to the vehicles that carry students home after games.

It also ignores that divestment is essentially an act of financial theater. At its best, divestment has no impact on global emissions. (Even if divestment succeeded in weakening publicly-traded fossil fuel companies, there is compelling evidence that would increase emissions by shifting production to foreign, state-owned firms with worse environmental records.)

Instead of punishing fossil fuel companies, we should set clear incentives so that all parties — energy companies, businesses, and consumers — are encouraged to reduce emissions as quickly as possible. We need a commonsense national policy that brings all stakeholders together, not moralizing that drives them apart.

That is why the Harvard Republican Club joined student groups across the country in 2018 to endorse the carbon dividends climate solution. Advanced by Republican luminaries James A. Baker III and George P. Shultz, the carbon dividends plan would establish a gradually rising price on carbon to drive clean energy development across the economy. It would rebate all of the revenue to Americans in the form of dividends, ensuring that the vast majority — especially the most vulnerable — win economically from the U.S.’ climate response.

This simple, market-driven approach has earned remarkably broad support, including the backing of environmental non-governmental organizations and businesses, as well as the endorsement of thousands of economists — among them, an impressive 27 Nobel Prize winners.

And most importantly, the carbon dividends plan has drawn support from major fossil fuel companies, including ExxonMobil, BP, ConocoPhillips, and Shell. Contrary to what the divestment movement claims, climate advocates should not want these companies to fail. Instead, we should want these firms, propelled by the right incentives, to leverage their engineering expertise, innovative cultures, and vast research and development budgets to develop — and deploy — the technologies of the future. That is the path to protecting the environment and growing the economy at the same time.

The numbers speak for themselves. Assuming a starting carbon tax rate of $40 per ton (which the aforementioned companies support), the carbon dividends solution would deliver more than three times the emissions reductions of Obamaera regulations, easily exceeding the U.S.’ commitment under the Paris Agreement. Divestment, by contrast, offers little more than hot air.

At the Harvard Republican Club, and at college Republican chapters across the country, we are taking the climate issue seriously. According to a recent survey from Luntz Global — founded by famed Republican pollster Frank I. Luntz — 85 percent of Republicans under the age of 40 believe the GOP is hurting itself with younger voters due to its climate stance. (The poll also found that young conservatives support the carbon dividends solution by a seven-to-one margin.)

As young people, we know what is at stake for our economic prospects and for our generation.

We also know that we need to focus on real solutions that unlock the innovative power of American business. While I commend the divestment protesters for their commitment to the cause, nobody wins from climate efforts that demonize the companies needed to help solve the problem.

Particularly at two of America’s leading universities, we should aspire for a more elevated understanding of the climate challenge — in all its complexity and nuance. We should seek solutions that are not only workable but also grounded in sound economic principles.

At the Harvard Republican Club, we will continue to discuss these important issues and bring people to our side through the merits of our arguments, rather than our ability to cause inconvenience. For those willing to engage in this important conversation, I and fellow young conservatives across the country stand ready to meet you there.

THE HARVARD CRIMSON | January 22, 2020

New Course to Study Allston Move HBS Alumni Call for More Diversity

By ARTEA BRAHAJ and TAYLOR C. PETERMAN Crimson Staff Writers

As Harvard prepares for its move into Allston, a new History of Science course will allow students to document the history expansion as it unfolds.

The course — titled History of Science 191cu: “Harvard’s Changing Landscapes: A Contemporary History Project” — will focus on the University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences as it awaits its move to Allston. The seminar will be “project-based” and “designed to introduce students to the range of skills needed to research and document historical change while it is ‘in process,’” according to the course catalog.

The new SEAS complex is set to open in September 2020 in Allston and will likely house more than 1,800 researchers, students, and faculty.

The course will allow students to study SEAS on the eve of its move through project planning, background research, interview planning, audio recording, and editing.

Course instructor and History of Science lecturer David S. Unger said the idea for the class stemmed from his work as a historian in museums.

“I’ve worked on a number of documentation projects at various museums and now, as the Director of Administration for the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, I’d like to bring that kind of work here,” he said.

Unger also said that Harvard’s move to Allston offers a unique research opportunity for students to participate in a “real, practical project.” He said the goal of the course is “to collect oral histories and other documentation from SEAS.”

Members of Harvard Business School’s African-American Alumni Association urged University President Lawrence S. Bacow in a letter earlier this month to prioritize diversity and inclusion in the search for the school’s next dean.

Business School Dean Nitin Nohria announced in a November email to Business School affiliates that he will retire in June 2020 after ten years at the school’s helm.

In an email to University affiliates in November, Bacow and University Provost Alan M. Garber ’76 announced that 15 professors will serve on a search committee to select the next dean of the Business School.

The group includes faculty from the Business School’s 10 academic units that comprise its primary fields of study.

The letter states that the group wants the search committee to seek out a candidate who will increase the number of African American students who enroll and participate in the school’s Master of Business Administration program, its executive education program, and its eight doctoral programs, according to an early January report from Black Enterprise.

The letter also asks that the next dean of the Business School prioritize existing programs dedicated to supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds.

Information gathered by the students will be “part of a larger collecting initiative” and will become part of Harvard’s Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, according to the course description.

“I’m very interested in thinking about how the collection can actively collect objects and stories from things happening now,” Unger said.

In a statement, University spokesperson Brigid O’Rourke wrote that Harvard is “proud” of its presence in Allston more broadly.

“We are proud to be part of a vibrant innovative, artistic, and collaborative ecosystem that will change the region – and the world – in profound ways,” she said.

In previous years, Harvard’s expansion into Allston has invited significant pushback from the neighborhood’s residents.

Still, O’Rourke wrote that Harvard’s work in the area will allow the University to continue to contribute to the community and to promote innovation in the area.

“This progress and thought-

ful planning – together with Harvard’s commitment to community and being a good neighbor – are ensuring the Boston area remains at the forefront of teaching, learning, and research, and that it remains a place where people want to live, learn, work, and play,” she wrote.

The letter also states that the African-American Alumni Association believes Business School leadership should make an effort to increase the number of African Americans who are portrayed in the case studies taught to Business School students.

Nohria oversaw a 2015 push to double the number of female protagonists in case studies by 2019.

More recently, in March 2019, HBS administrators announced plans to hire an Associate Director for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging in response to concerns about a lack of diversity among characters in case studies.

University spokesperson Jason A. Newton wrote in an email to The Crimson that Bacow has responded to the letter sent by the African-American Alumni Association.

“In his response he said he appreciates the effort and energy that members of the HBSAAA have invested, and continue to invest, in advancing diversity and inclusion across HBS— both its people and its programs,” Newton wrote.

“He also noted that advancing diversity and inclusion will remain an essential aim of the school in the years ahead, and that it is beneficial to have the HBSAAA’s observations in the context of the dean search and more generally,” he added.

Nohria declined to comment through Business School spokesperson Brian C. Kenny on the search for his successor. ellen.burstein@thecrimson.com

Lottery From Page 1

Student Opposes The New Gen Ed Lottery System, Explained Motion to Dismiss Motion because the Handbook required the Ad Board to issue charges against Damilare prior to his graduation,” it reads. “Although it is unclear when the student-Harvard relationship first forms, the Handbook shows that it ends upon graduation.”

The handbook stated at the time that “a degree will not be granted to a student who is not in good standing or against whom a disciplinary charge is pending,” according to the opposition.

“While a complaint is a claim of wrongdoing brought to Harvard’s attention, a ‘disciplinary charge’ is an affirmative act by the Ad Board,” it reads. “The Ad Board may issue disciplinary charges following a preliminary investigation, or it ‘may independently initiate a charge against a student,’ without in-

vestigation. The Ad Board could conceivably issue disciplinary charges even a minute before a student’s graduation.”

College spokesperson Rachael Dane wrote in an email to The Crimson that the College does not comment on pending litigation, but that College policy forbids students subject to pending disciplinary action from graduating. She added that the College does not tolerate sexual misconduct.

“Harvard College is deeply committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for members of our community and will not tolerate sexual misconduct including rape and other forms of sexual assault,” Dane wrote. michelle.kurilla@thecrimson.com

Office of Undergraduate Education after observing that some students successfully lotteried into multiple courses while others failed to lottery into any courses.

The new system aims to allow more students to successfully lottery into a Gen Ed course and to relieve student stress, according to the Gen Ed office.

How will the new enrollment system work?

Students will be able to request enrollment in up to five Gen Ed courses on my.harvard.

They will then be required to rank their choices by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday during shopping week, the first week of each semester during which students may try out classes before formally enrolling. If the request-

ed enrollment for a given Gen Ed course does not exceed the limit, all students who requested to enroll will automatically be granted permission.

The Gen Ed office will lottery off seats in over-requested courses. Students will rank their preferences for Gen Ed courses, and the office will use a unified ranked-choice system to assign students to their highest possible preferences.

The Gen Ed office will notify students of their lottery results by 2 p.m. on Thursday during shopping week, and they can choose whether to enroll in the courses they were granted permission to enter. Students who request to enroll in five Gen Ed courses should get into at least one, according to the office’s website.

After the lottery ends, students may petition to enter

Never miss a moment.

courses that still have open seats.

Will any students receive preference in the lottery?

No, since lottery results will be determined according to the randomized algorithm.

Gen Ed courses will not have applications to enter the lottery, and the Gen Ed office said it instructed faculty not to approve enrollment petitions before the lottery runs.

Not even seniors who must take a course to graduate will necessarily be guaranteed a seat by the lottery, though the Gen Ed office said students should reach out if this occurs.

How large will the Gen Ed enrollment caps be?

Gen Ed courses have a size

limit of between 50 and 250 students.

In the spring of 2019, the FAS Standing Committee on General Education decided to cap all Gen Ed courses at 250 students.

Individual instructors can additionally choose to impose a lower enrollment cap if they wish.

Several faculty members said last fall during shopping week that they were confused and frustrated by the new rule capping Gen Ed classes.

The only course with an enrollment cap larger than 250 after the new rule was instituted was GENED 1058: “Tech Ethics: AI, Biotech, and the Future of Human Nature,” offered in fall 2019. The course had a larger cap of 900 students because it formed part of an experiment with larger course sizes. kevin.chen@thecrimson.com

Lewis’s Senior Surge Energizes Harvard Basketball

By Amir Mamdani Crimson Staff Writer

Chris Lewis is a guy who likes to do his talking on the court.

While it might seem somewhat contradictory for a 6 feet 9 inch senior forward whose favorite method of scoring is a thunderous slam dunk, Lewis is a soft-spoken player away from the hardwood.

Whether it be in a postgame interview or with his teammates, the veteran has earned a reputation for leading others by example. And while other players may command respect more demonstrably or vocally, Lewis’s leadership and performance in the past month are becoming harder and harder to ignore.

Since the beginning of Harvard men’s basketball’s December road trip to Washington, D.C. and the Bay Area, Lewis has scored in double figures in five straight games, matching a career high. The Alpharetta, Ga., native led the team in scoring in its first three games of the trip, highlighted by 22 points against George Washington, second to only the 29 points he scored against Cornell in double overtime in his sophomore season.

“I think it was the ball movement,” said Lewis, quick to attribute his succesful performance against George Washington to his teammates. “My guards were feeding me, giving me good passes so I could get good finishes. I just give credit to them.”

Over the past month the Crimson has focused on getting its star big man looks closer to the basket, also using him as a press-breaking tool as seen against the University of San Francisco.

This strategy of targeting Lewis on the inside has helped boost the senior into the top 30 players in the country in field goal percentage, amongst approximately 4,500 Division I players.

With fellow senior Bryce Aiken exiting the first game of the trip with a sprained foot, Lewis calmly stepped into the spotlight, leading Harvard to a flawless 4-0 road trip before returning home to beat UC Irvine. Alongside fellow senior, ­

guard Christian Juzang, the forward has been a key cog in a stretch that has propelled the Crimson to a seven game winning streak.

As much as any on-court contributions, however, teammates point to the guidance and example that seniors like Lewis and Juzang have provided throughout the recent run of success.

“This last four game stretch they’ve been playing really well,” junior guard Rio Haskett said of Lewis, Juzang, and the rest of the seniors. “They’ve honestly just been leading us, all the seniors have been leading us like crazy.”

As a crucial member of Harvard’s highly touted 2020 recruiting class, Lewis is often highlighted on television broadcasts and the media more generally, who frequently focus on the senior’s Computer Science concentration and his internship at Facebook.

Others choose to underscore his several Power Five offers from schools like Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, and the University of Miami, or the fact that he seriously considered attending MIT in lieu of playing Division I basketball. And of course, the all-too frequently told tale of his father, former NFLer Mo Lewis, whose crushing hit on New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe gave Tom Brady the first opportunity in his storybook career.

But beyond his academic interests, career aspirations, and familial anecdotes, lies a player who is content to let his basketball speak for itself. The renewed vigor and confidence that Lewis has played with over the past month hasn’t been lost on his fellow players, who point to the effort and dedication often unseen by the media as the catalyst for his brilliant stretch of play.

“This man has really been taking it to the next level, offensively and defensively,” said Juzang, Lewis’s teammate of four years. “He’s been really doing it. Whether it’s coming to practice early, the little things that people don’t really take notice of. He’s been really dialed in and I’m proud of him.”

As Juzang pointed out,

Lewis’s impressive performance over the past five games haven’t just been restricted to the offensive side of the floor.

Not only did Lewis tie a career high with four blocks when matched up against Cal’s 6’8 255 pound big man Andre Kelly, but the senior was able to set a new program record for blocks in the process.

Lewis surpassed Keith Wright ‘12 and his 150 blocks, with a total currently standing at 156 and the entirety of the conference schedule still re-

maining.

Although the past month has been a flourishing spell of play for the Alpharetta Ga., native, his career at Harvard hasn’t always been smooth sailing. After a promising sophomore season that saw him garner firstteam All-Ivy honors, as well as NABC All-District second team and Ivy League All-Tournament Team recognition, the 2018-2019 campaign wasn’t as successful for Lewis.

After averaging nearly 13 points per game the prior sea-

son, Lewis registered just over 10 per contest in his junior season, with slightly fewer rebounds and more turnovers per game. And although his numbers were by no means shoddy, in a conference featuring talented forwards AJ Brodeur, Richmond Aririguzoh, Chris Knight, and Tamenang Choh, the Milton High School product was omitted from First and Second Team All-Ivy Teams.

The lone Honorable Mention for the 2018-2019 season was given to another forward, Columbia’s Patrick Tape, implying that Lewis had performed in the bottom half amongst Ancient Eight big men.

A year later, Lewis appears poised to return to the ranks of the conference’s best, with a 64 percent field goal percentage that currently places him second in the Ivy League. This level of efficiency has been perhaps the most impressive part of Lewis’s recent play.

Since a 3-of-3 performance against UMass on December 7th, Lewis has converted on an impressive 39-of-52 field goals, scoring at a remarkable 75 percent clip.

“A point of emphasis for us was to utilize Lewis on the inside,” Coach Tommy Amaker explained during the road trip.

“He came through for us.”

The senior garnered Ivy League player of the week honors for his stretch of solid performances, including a perfect game at California during which Lewis scored or punctuated all seven of his field goal attempts with slam dunks, also draining all five of his freethrow opportunities.

24 hours later, the senior put together an impressive 14 point, 9 rebound night that was highlighted by a crucial 36 minutes of action, the second longest outing of his career.

In addition to setting the all-time Harvard record for blocks, Lewis has recorded at least one block or steal in all but one game this year, a crucial stat for a Crimson program that hangs its hat on limiting opponents’ scoring.

“It’s critical, there’s no other way of saying it,” said Coach Amaker of Lewis and the rest of the team’s defensive focus.

“Our defense is our calling card for our program, we’ve built our program around defense, and our guys have had great ef-

fort.”

As the senior enters the twilight of his career at Harvard, the unspoken elephant in the room still remains for Lewis and the rest of the Class of 2020. This vaunted recruiting quartet of Lewis, Aiken, former conference player of the year Seth Towns, Robert Baker, and key role players Juzang, Justin Bassey, and captain Henry Welsh, have still yet to reach the NCAA Tournament.

Two straight conference championship appearances have brought consecutive losses against the hosts of the Ivy Madness tournaments, despite Harvard holding the No. 1 seed both seasons. With Towns undergoing season-ending surgery and entering the transfer portal, and yet another Aiken injury on the precipice of the Ivy League season, there are plenty of reasons to be distracted from the players currently in Coach Amaker’s rotation.

But don’t be.

This Crimson team is entering its best run of form, with Lewis leading the way in the middle alongside sophomore Noah Kirkwood, freshman phenom Chris Ledlum, the rest of the senior class, and a cadre of junior and sophomore role players.

And no player has been bigger than Lewis in helping the Crimson find consistency in the wake of injuries, turnovers, and the myriad other issues that arise over the course of a college basketball season.

Perhaps Coach Amaker put it best, humorously noting the stress relief that can accompany the end of finals, by saying, “I just think that he’s in a good place right now.”

With seven victories in a row, including a 67-62 win over Dartmouth this past Saturday after a two week layoff, there is plenty to be optimistic about Harvard men’s basketball. Another contest next Saturday against the Big Green and the possibility of Aiken returning to full strength add to the excitement of the remainder of the season.

Just don’t expect any of this to affect Chris Lewis’s poise or play, or to see a smile or a smirk out of the 6’9’’ senior.

He’ll let his play speak for itself. amir.mamdani@thecrimson.com
