OCS Official Faces Charges In Brookline Chase

An assistant director of the Office of Career Services (OCS) arrested Wednesday remains at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center undergoing psychological evaluation, police said yesterday.

Wilson J. Hunt Jr. '65-'69, who was arrested after an extended car chase, will be arraigned on six charges--including armed assault with intent to murder--as soon as doctors determine he is fit to participate in a legal proceeding.

Bill Wright-Swadel, the director of OCS, confirmed yesterday that Hunt works in the office. He said that OCS officials have not decided whether Hunt, who has been at OCS since 1981, will continue to be employed there.

At OCS, Hunt is responsible for advising about minority student affairs, architecture, science and technology.

Wright-Swadel said the OCS community is very concerned about Hunt and is closely monitoring his situation.

"He has been a valued member of this community for a very long time," he said.

A student who had an advising appointment with Hunt yesterday said he received a phone call and an e-mail message from OCS to alert him that his appointment had been cancelled.

Hunt also serves as a non-resident first-year advisor. Dean of Freshmen Elizabeth Studley Nathans declined to comment on the matter.
