| | The New York Times asks Harvey about speech-restrictive policies urging Harvard Med students to screen media inquiries with administrators:
Harvey Silverglate, a Cambridge civil rights attorney who co-founded and is chairman of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, and has challenged university restrictions on free speech, said he knew of no other such policy. “It doesn’t surprise me that the first instance I’ve heard of comes from Harvard, and the reason is the Harvard public affairs staff has been trying for years now with increasing success to take over communications with the outside world,” he said in an interview. “It is very corporatized.”
