A report issued yesterday by the U.S. Office of Education listing Harvard and Radcliffe among 35 colleges and universities which have terminated financial aid to students who participated in campus disorders was questioned last night by officers of both schools.
Mary I. Bunting, president of Radcliffe, said that while Radcliffe has no established policy of withdrawing financial aid from students involved in disruptions, she knew of no such case and suspected the government was wrong.
Chase N. Peterson '52, Harvard College Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, said that students discharged from the University may have participated in federal financial aid programs before their dismissal, but no student
presently enrolled at Harvard has been denied financial aid due to political activity.
By defining "disruption" as "an act serious enough to warrant dismissal from the University," Peterson said, Harvard has avoided conflict with recent Federal laws demanding removal of Federal aid money from disrupters.
