Rosovsky told The Crimson that the associate professor might go to the Joint Committee on Appointments, a body composed of members of both the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers.
The Joint Committee, however, is where Berkowitz began his appeal.
According to Berkowitz, its members have received numerous letters from him and have declined to reply to any of them.
If he were to file a lawsuit, Berkowitz said he would contend that the University failed to follow its own procedures in the course of evaluating him for tenure. Berkowitz and his lawyer, Matthew Feinberg of the Boston firm Feinberg & Kamholtz, said the suit would be filed in Middlesex Superior Court.
Reply and Rebut
In an effort to win reconsideration for tenure, Berkowitz has teamed up with Weld Professor of Law Charles R. Nesson '60, a vocal critic of the entire appointment process.
Nesson, who said he would like to see "openness" replace the secrecy embedded in the University's current tenure review practices, called the Docket Committee proceedings "loaded against Peter from the get-go."
