Harvard recognizes and respects that students’ risk tolerances vary. Any student may decline to travel to a particular place, or to remain there, if the student has justifiable fears for his or her personal safety. Harvard and individual faculty and staff shall respect the decision and not pressure the student to decide otherwise. This provision may apply whether or not Harvard has classified the place as “High-Risk”.
Students should notify the designated School Official or the Vice Provost for International Affairs if they believe there has been a violation of this policy.
The HGSE Designated School Official for student International Travel is Kevin Boehm, Director of Student Affairs. kevin_boehm@gse.harvard.edu
