  • The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Schools Law Ups Drug Penalty
    The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Schools Law Ups Drug Penalty News Schools Law Ups Drug Penalty Law enforcers have not been hesitant to apply school zone drug laws to Harvard students Published On 1/12/2007 3:12:49 AM By REBECCA M. ANDERS Crimson Staff Writer Eliot House might be no more than a stroll away from Winthrop House, but for students caught dabbling in drugs, the two can feel years apart. Two years, to be exact. Penalty minimums for suspects convicted of drug possession with intent to distribute 1,000 feet from a school disproportionately affects an unlikely group, besides inner-city dwellers and the poor: Harvard students. Ten of the school’s 12 undergraduate residential Houses fall, at least partially, within that 1,000-foot radius—a designation that would tack on a mandatory minimum of two years to a convict’s sentence. The Martin Luther King, Jr. School on Putnam Avenue covers Mather House and much of Dunster House; the Cambridge Montessori School and the Graham and Parks Alternative Public School covers the Quad Houses; and the Radcliffe Child Care Center directly below the DeWolfe apartments covers Adams House, Leverett House, Quincy House, Lowell House, and part of Winthrop House, leaving only Kirkland House and Eliot House free from the statute. And authorities have not shied away from exercising the law against Harvard drug suspects in recent years. Out of the seven students charged with drug possession in the past three years, five faced intent to distribute within a school zone. In 2004, it was a Mather resident allegedly found with 16 bags of psilocybin mushrooms.
