HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
All Harvard and Radcliffe Houses except one have rejected student participation in the Committee on Rights and Responsibilities (CRR). North House will cast its votes today.
Students voted 1599 to 788, defeating the proposal by a two-to-one margin. In the last referendum among the Harvard Houses, Kirkland voted yesterday against sending representatives, 96-76.
The three students now on the CRR were supposed to serve until the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL) picked new members from the pool of names that would have been submitted.
It is unclear whether the eight faculty members of the CRR will meet without students or whether the students now on the CRR simply continue serving indefinitely.
Asked about the Houses' refusal to select a pool of students, May said last night, "I think I'd have to wait until the last returns are in, and then talk to the committee's chairman about it."
Although Currier House has already voted, 78-18, not to cooperate with the CRR, its steering committee will hold another referendum Wednesday. Some students objected that the referendum was held on a weekend with only 110 students casting ballots.
