<p>Simba, I did indeed start the thread by quoting the Crimson. On post 5, I added the link to the story as it was printed. Unless I missed, I did not see any stories that would have led anyone to believe the June story was false. Posting on CC does not exactly require verifying sources for accuracy and timeliness. Also, since this discussion was centered on Harvard’s decision to appoint her–or rescind her appointment–to a position, anyone with who could correct the error in the earlier report could have spoken up. </p>
<p>The issue that she is no longer listed as a peer advisor–or acting in the same capacity–does not change the facts described in the original story. FWIW, could we not consider that later events or decisions might have been prompted by the reactions to the June story? I think that it is a fair assessment that Harvard’s decision to imitate Pontius Pilatus was not applauded overwhelmingly, except for die-hard supporters of KV, or extremely forgiving and generous persons. </p>
<p>I’d like to believe that you just happen to be the latter.</p>
