“People are forgetting that hate crimes really do make people feel vulnerable and targeted, and what the response has to do is make that targeted population feel comfortable and safe again,” a student says. When campus police join in attacking a vulnerable victim as HUPD does to persons with disabilities, where does one go? Where do victims of love crimes go?
"According to Kevin Bryant, HUPD’s diversity and community liaison, the police department uses the Massachusetts General Law on Interference with Civil Rights to investigate acts of bias," What state law does HUPD use when their own officers abuse vulnerable persons with disabilities? Is it the law of "See no evil; hear no evil, speak no evil?"
Laura Snowdon, dean of students at the Graduate School of Design says, “We have zero tolerance for any hostile behavior toward any student or any group of students because of their identity or perceived identity.” Except (she did not add) persons with disabilities who are always acceptable targets for police, students and administrators.
Recent Crimson article about discrimination against Harvard and Yale students having their private party ended early, and now egregious irreparable harms to homosexuals makes one anticipate an article about how women are denied academic advancement at Harvard. How those Harvard students and faculty suffer. Where is the District Attorney and the Attorneys General when you need them?
