“Finals clubs are a cancer to the college”? It appears so.
I was heavily criticized when I made similar statements in 2013. I do not relish this vindication because it means an unknown number of students have been assaulted in the interim. Given that Harvard administrators must have known what I did, this is particularly heartbreaking. I hope someday to see an apology from the university president for what happened on her watch.“Most of the final clubs are essentially institutions of rape,” one comment attributed to a senior male reads. “I understand that they are not technically affiliated with Harvard, yet it is mostly Harvard students that attend these clubs and the university chooses to turn a blind eye towards sexual crimes that take place in its back yard on a regular basis.”
