Located in Boston, not far from Harvard |
Some blog readers may recall the brouhaha that erupted at Harvard when some administrators poked around in university emails trying to discover who was leaking info about a student cheating affair. A dean apparently ended up resigning when the email searching became known. The
Boston Globe is reporting that a Harvard-commissioned report has determined that the administrators were acting in "
good faith." See

Inside Higher Ed is at

Moral: Don't put anything in email you wouldn't want made public. Unless, of course, you believe that whatever you say will be used in good faith:
