Dec. 22 - Jan. 3: Pornography in CGIS

Whether due to the lack of students on campus or an abundance of holiday spirit, HUPD has responded to extraordinarily few incidents over the last few weeks. With four consecutive days of “no incidents to report” and no reports of stolen bikes or computers, Harvard appears to be a rather quiet place in the absence the majority of its undergraduates. As part of our Securitas series, we’ve combed through HUPD log entries from the last few weeks and published some of the more colorful entries below.
