This. Can’t record classes. Punishment forthcoming |
lol. We were sharing mini cassette recorded lectures in study groups in the 90s! My kids share high-def audio/video iPhone recorded lectures with college study buddies — if the professors themselves don’t upload the recordings online. |
| I don't have a problem with this. They broke rules in order to achieve a goal. Goal achieved. They should expect to be disciplined. We all make those calculations. |
I don't know. I believe whistle blowers should have some protection. In fact, Harvard may even be acting illegally or against their own policies in this regard. |
Does this involve whistleblowing? They didn’t unearth or report anything that wasn’t previously known/reported. |

So if they just handwrote a transcript and published that no problem?
Harvard is scraping the bottom of its shoes looking for distractions. Boston Globe has a paywalled article about Summers and spouse grubbing money after Harvard stopped accepting Epstein money. The Crimson has info https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/12/12/poetry-show-pulled/ |
hey grandpa, we're not talking about your high tech sony walkman days. we're talking about recordings being shared online beyond the student community, that has video of student faces without the consent of students. if you don't know about a little something called our legal framework--Massachusetts is an all party consent state. you have to get the permission of all involved to record people (by video, by phone, whatever). |
Context matters, quite a bit. |
Hey baby, only secret recordings are illegal. |
stfu plenty of students record lectures today without getting permission. Stop with the bs consent nonsense. Some teachers don't want to be recorded because of stupid sht they say or stupid things they do. |
don't be dim. if people had seen them filming opening, they would have been stopped. there's no way the students who got investigated got the permission of every kid in those classes to post video of their classmates on the internet. |
Agreed. Harvard put them in this situation by not immediately suspending Summers. After reading his illiterate juvenile sounding emails, I do not understand how he was allowed to teach. |
There is no expectation of such privacy in public on any campus in 2025. Every kid constantly has their phone out recording, taking pictures, on FaceTime, and social media. Is Harvard going to expel every student who's ever posted a party clip on social media without first getting EVERY peer in the background to sign off on it? You sound insane.

Because "H" has been a den of thieves and creeps for decades. |
| the only one embarrassed by this was Havard because it highlighted that they were still letting summers teach students despite his lame announcement that he was going to step back - this is vindictive not protective of other students |
