Harvard Law School is facing harassment from the FASORP group, similar to the University of Michigan. This group is sending emails to first-year law students urging them to falsify identities in their applications to the Harvard Law Review. Dean of Students Stephen L. Ball condemned these messages as "disturbing" and "hateful," emphasizing their threats to undermine integrity in the selection process. The situation raises questions about the responsibility of faculty members associated with FASORP to denounce such unethical behavior, suggesting a wider issue of academic integrity at stake.
Harvard Law School Dean of Students Stephen L. Ball condemned a pair of mass emails sent to law students on Friday that accused the Harvard Law Review of discriminating against white authors and urged applicants to falsify their racial and gender identities on application materials.
The disturbing message likely threatened all students to preserve their personal statements to be used as evidence in a future lawsuit and the second advocated for law students to, among other things, cross dress and pretend to be trans from now until the Law Review selection process is over to better their odds.
It would be one thing if FASORP was comprised of a bunch of scorned twenty somethings that are hellbent on revenge because they didn't get the Law Review seat they felt they were entitled to. But the F in FASORP stands for faculty.
...every professor that is a member of FASORP that hasn't stepped up to condemn a multi-institutional attempt at encouraging law students to lie on their personal statements...should have their academic integrity questioned for tacitly approving of what at minimum should be some sort of honor code violation.
