At Anita Hill Book Talk, Former Harvard College Dean Says She Regrets Signing Comaroff Letter
Former Harvard College Dean Evelynn M. Hammonds expressed regret for initially signing onto a letter questioning sexual harassment and misconduct investigations into Professor John L. Comaroff. Hammonds, moderating a discussion with Anita Hill at a Radcliffe Institute event on gender-based violence, stated her support for the students bringing forward charges against Comaroff. After a lawsuit detailed allegations against Comaroff, Hammonds had retracted her support for the original letter, as did most signatories. Hammonds clarified that her intention was to advocate for transparency in the investigative process, not to undermine the students' claims.| Creator |
