  • Letter from Harvard Law School Students and Alumni to Dean
    John F. Manning Dean, Harvard Law School Harvard Law School 1585 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138 US President Lawrence Bacow President, Harvard University Dear Dean Manning and President Bacow, This letter is submitted on behalf of the undersigned members of the Harvard Law School (HLS) 2020-21 community, as well as our fellow HLS alumni. We write to you in appeal of your decision to be online-only for Fall 2020, and urge you to implement a hybrid semester. Our argument is laid out below, but it can be expressed in simple terms. 1. Even the best virtual learning cannot replicate the opportunities that come with in-person learning. Although students in all years and of all backgrounds will be negatively affected by a solely virtual semester, for some members of our community, including international students and those with learning disabilities, in-person education is even more important. These students will suffer from immediate and lasting effects on their career and living situation, including being barred from all employment opportunities and not even being allowed to remain in or enter the United States. 2. In recognition of these facts and the feasibility of hybrid semesters, Harvard Law School’s (HLS) peer institutions across America have committed to hybrid semesters as the best balance of every member of their communities' physical, mental, and emotional health. This includes law schools and universities in the hardest-hit areas of the United States, such as New York City. In light of dropping case counts across Massachusetts, the developed plans by HLS’s peer institutions, and the well-known creativity, expertise, and compassion of Harvard professors and administration, we ask that HLS do the same.

  • Lawrence S. Bacow Is the 29Th President of Harvard University
    Lawrence S. Bacow is the 29th President of Harvard University. Bacow was the Hauser Leader-in-Residence at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Center for Public Leadership and served as a member of the Harvard Corporation, the university’s principal governing board. One of the most widely experienced leaders in American higher education, known for his commitment to expanding student opportunity, catalyzing academic innovation, and encouraging universities’ civic engagement and service to society, Bacow is the former President of Tufts University and past Chancellor and Chair of the Faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As President of Tufts from 2001 to 2011, Bacow advanced the university’s commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and public service and fostered collaboration across the university’s eight schools. Under his leadership, Tufts pursued initiatives to enhance the undergraduate experience, deepen graduate and professional education and research in critical fields, broaden international engagement, and promote active citizenship among members of the university community. While at Tufts, Bacow emerged as a nationally recognized champion of expanding access to higher education through need-based student aid, while also advocating vigorously for federal support of university-based research. He worked to engender novel connections across academic disciplines and among Tufts’ wide array of schools and helped craft a new partnership between the university and its principal teaching hospital, Tufts Medical Center. Bacow convened an international conference of higher education leaders in 2005 to initiate the Talloires Network, a global association of colleges and universities committed to strengthening the civic roles and social responsibilities of higher education.
