HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
In its demand for the Black Students Association (BSA) President Kristen Clarke '97's retraction or resignation. The Crimson has outlandishly overstepped its boundaries as a newspaper ("Clarke Should Retract Statements." Opinion, Nov. 4, 1994). While The Crimson can and should espouse opinions about campus organizations, it has no right to intervene in internal organizational politics by calling for the resignation of a campus leader. The only people who should demand the resignation of an organization's leader are the members themselves.
If editors of The Crimson would like to join the BSA and then call for Ms. Clarke to resign, they are welcome to do so. But they cannot submit such claims through the external voice of their newspaper. Harvard's ethnic organizations will not tolerate such irresponsible journalism and unthinking sensationalism. --Vivek Maru '97 Academic/Political Chair South Asian Association Susan S.
