Daily Briefing Harvard University Police chief Francis D. “Bud” Riley detailed the scope of an internal investigation sparked by a January Crimson article in an email to the department. HUPD will retain two external investigators who specialize in the culture of law enforcement groups and will convene an internal working group to examine topics including recruitment and diversity. In other news, two years after the College put it on probation, campus Christian group Harvard College Faith and Action still receives significant funding from parent group Christian Union despite Harvard’s initial requirement that the two groups sever their ties.
Held at the Staples Center at Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant’s memorial was filled with both somber and lighthearted moments as public figures from Michael Jordan to Jimmy Kimmel paid their tributes to the late basketball legend.
Around the Ivies Dartmouth
Dartmouth College found multiple student groups responsible for violating alcohol and hazing policies, according to The Dartmouth. Violations found by the men’s basketball team, women’s track and field team, and five Greek houses were outlined in the Fall 2019 report of the Organizational Adjudication Committee. Per the report, many of the infractions happened in previous years and were the subject of an external investigation into hazing allegations at select student groups. Almost all of the groups accepted responsibility for their violation of various policies and faced a range of punishments, including the banning of social activities for a term and suspension.
COLUMBIA
Columbia University received a $2.1 million contribution from the Jack Ma Foundation, a Chinese philanthropic organization, for the development of drugs to treat coronavirus, per the Columbia Daily Spectator. The donation comes in the midst of a recently-opened federal investigation called the China Initiative, which places heightened scrutiny on unreported foreign contributions to American universities. Columbia’s coronavirus research teams, selected for their success in past epidemics, expect to begin clinical trials on several antiviral drugs in the next year.
BROWN
The Brown University band announced that it will not perform at women’s basketball home games for the rest of the season, citing allegations about the conduct of Head Coach Sarah Behn, according to the Brown Daily Herald. Former team members claimed that Behn commented on players’ weights and singled out players using vulgar language. Behn has denied all allegations made against her, and several players have voiced opposition to the criticism. Three former players said they reported Behn’s behavior to the University but did not see any changes to the program or team environment in response.
