Riley Cannot Be Judge, Jury, and Defendant
The Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) will undergo an internal review led by HUPD Chief Francis D. “Bud” Riley and University Executive Vice President Katie N. Lapp following The Crimson's report on long-standing issues of sexism, racism, and favoritism within the department. The Crimson Editorial Board criticizes this decision as insufficient and unsurprising, given Harvard's history of avoiding full external scrutiny in internal issues. The editorial argues that Riley, who has been linked to fostering the problematic culture, should resign. The board asserts that Riley's continued leadership undermines any genuine effort to improve HUPD’s internal climate and calls for his immediate resignation to ensure accountability and transparency.| Creator |
