Eliot E-mail List Shut Down
The Eliot House Committee at Harvard temporarily shut down their open e-mail list after complaints about the use of the word "slut" in a message and confusion over the list's regulation. House Commitee co-chair Geoffrey S. Harcourt ’04 stated that the suspension aimed to clarify the list's rules and confirmed that the committee was not responsible for regulating the content. The controversy arose from an email that derogatorily referred to a person who had "hook[ed] up with 47 percent of the football team." The list was reopened after Harcourt confirmed with House administrators that it was unmoderated and that individuals were responsible for their posts.| Creator |
