HGC Votes to Remove Finance Chair

ALLEGED MISCONDUCT. The Harvard Graduate Council voted on April 17 to remove outgoing finance chair Mir Jahanzeb “M.J.” Mehdi and disqualify him from serving on the council in the future. The April resolution claimed that during HGC’s March elections — in which Mehdi was not reelected — Mehdi had gone on an “inappropriate and unprofessional tirade,” “suggesting that the Council should not have elected a white student as president over candidates of color or a woman” in reference to the election of Brett A. Monson, an Extension School student who will serve as the council’s next president. Mehdi disputed all points made in the sanctioning in a 60-page written statement.
