Community Council

Last Updated: January 28, 2022

All Harvard Students have agreed to uphold community expectations related to COVID-19. The Community Council is responsible for reviewing concerns related to these expectations.

The Council is based on shared community responsibility, and it is comprised of an equal number of students and faculty and staff members. 

Outcomes

The Council will respond to notifications of potential violations with the following actions (listed in ascending order of severity): 

1. No violation;
2. Council Warning;
3. Community Engagement;
4. Removal from housing and/or removal of access to some parts of Harvard's campus

For less serious concerns, the Council may use these responses in a sequential fashion and/or following a warning from the Chair. For example, a violation of the expectations might lead to a warning by the Chair, and second to a written Council warning, and a third to community engagement. However, some actions may be deemed so serious as to merit a more significant response for a single or first action.

See Community Council Procedures

To report a potential violation to the Council please send an e-mail to communitycouncil@fas.harvard.edu or complete the Community Council Reporting Form.
