The Harvard Law Review (HLR) reprimanded a student for allegedly sharing certain documents with the Trump administration and conservative media, in an act that some have compared to witness intimidation.
On April 25, The Washington Free Beacon published a report expressing concerns that Harvard Law Review discriminates on the basis of race. Following the report, the Trump administration opened a racial discrimination investigation into HLR.
“Harvard Law Review’s article selection process appears to pick winners and losers on the basis of race, employing a spoils system in which the race of the legal scholar is as, if not more, important than the merit of the submission,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor on April 28.
In May, the law review disciplined one of its student editors, Daniel Wasserman, who allegedly shared the documents with the Free Beacon and the Trump administration. HLR reportedly demanded that Wasserman request the destruction of any documents that he shared.
HLR also issued a formal reprimand to Wasserman on May 22. “This Formal Reprimand informs you that your actions violate Law Review policies and do not reflect our community expectations,” the journal’s disciplinary committee explained. “Continued violations may give rise to additional disciplinary proceedings.”
