Museum Article Was Malicious

I was one of the museum workers interviewed for Sarah E. Scrogin's recent article, "Museum Workers Allege Abuse," (March 14, 1994).

I was told that the focus of the article would be about the various artists, musicians and writers who guard Harvard's art museums. During the interview, Scrogin did not once ask me about any incidents of abuse. She did not indicate to me or to two others interviewed, Berj Manoukian and Dimitri Fane, that her article would be anything else but a human interest story. This, however, was not the case. Scrogin quoted us out of context, twisted our words and outright fabricated a relationship between our comments and the allegations made in her story.

Scrogin's article was a malicious and premeditated attack on the chief of security, Michele Trifiro, and the security department of the Harvard University Art Museums. In the future, 'I hope she can learn to be more responsible to The Crimson's readers by reporting with a higher standard of integrity and accuracy. Eric Hupp   Harvard University Art Museums
