Senate subcommittee orders colleges to name students in campus disorders
A Senate subcommittee led by John L. McClellan has ordered colleges and universities to submit lists of students receiving federal aid who participated in campus disorders. Subpoenas have been issued to multiple schools to be used in forthcoming hearings, with the aim of showing which students financed by taxpayers’ money are involved. The move drew criticism from Harvard’s Dean Dr Chase M Peterson and others who warned it could erode responsibility and provoke coercion.
