Discovery is wrapping up. Harvard has produced 5,126 documents totaling 23,972 pages, including the FRB’s deliberations about me in 2015 and 2017.
There’s much to be said about these documents, but in general the protective order limits what I can reveal at this time. Expect some documents, and remarks about the documents, in summary judgment proceedings this summer.
The notable development last week: I filed an Amended Complaint that added one more way HBS breached its FRB Policies & Procedures obligations to me. I point out the P&P requirement that the Subcommittee and Standing Committee prepare their report based on “criteria excluding colleagueship and adherence to Community Values” — a logical rule because the P&P says the FRB alone is to evaluate those subjects. I allege that contrary to this requirement, the HBS Subcommittee evaluated FRB matters in 2017, and the HBS Standing Committee evaluated FRB matters in 2015 and 2017. After quoting P&P provisions that, I say, disallow what HBS did, I describe and quote evidence establishing the violation. This is evidence I did not have upon filing my complaint, so only through discovery did I learn the facts that support this claim — hence the amendment to my complaint.
