Garber's Path to the Harvard Presidency

Harvard Newstalk

It’s Harvard’s second week back in class and campus tensions are already back in the headlines.

Two Harvard graduate students charged with assault and battery during a pro-Palestine protest last May face yet another delay in their arraignment date.

A September 5th statement from the University provided updated guidance for those affected by doxing attacks, following months of criticism of its failure to protect students.

On Friday, President Alan Garber met with eight members of Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine in the Smith Campus Center to discuss the Harvard endowment. Outside the building, more than 80 students demanded divestment from Israel in the first pro-Palestine protest of the semester.

And, from our colleagues on the news desk, a deep dive into the Harvard Corporation’s selection of Harvard’s 31st president. How did Alan Garber successfully secure his position after a semester of extraordinary crisis?
