"It's up to the dean's office to deal with it, not us," Riley said. "It's up to the College to decide."

As part of standard HUPD procedure, police detectives videotaped every protester. Riley said he would offer the tape, which could be used to identify students, to Associate Dean of the College David P. Illingworth '71, the administrator responsible for student groups.

"If he wants the videotape, we'll give it to him," Riley said.

But Illingworth said he was not considering disciplinary action against the protesters.

"While they didn't leave when Chief Riley asked them to, they haven't been disruptive," he said.

McKean said the College has no grounds for disciplining members of PSLM because of Harvard's free speech guarantees and the peacefulness of the protest.

"We were extremely orderly and not disruptive at all," said McKean, who is also a Crimson editor. "We knew what we were doing and why we were there and what we wanted to accomplish."

While not designed to be disruptive, McKean said the action represented a deliberate increase of pressure. He said the University's continuing resistance to implementing a living wage prompted the group to employ more forceful tactics.
