DOJ Asks Federal Judge To Penalize
Harvard $102 Million

BOSTON (AP) -- The U.S. Department of Justice has asked a federal judge to order Harvard University and two men accused of mismanaging an economic reform program in Russia to repay the government $102 million. The government sued two years ago, alleging that staff of the now-defunct Harvard Institute for International Development had invested in companies directly affected by advice they gave the Russian government. After settlement talks broke down, the Justice Department filed papers in federal court Wednesday asking a judge to decide the case without going to trial. Harvard lawyers also have requested a quick ruling. The allegations focus on Andrei Shleifer, an economics professor at Harvard, and Jonathan Hay, Shleifer's former deputy at the institute, which was disbanded in 2000. Federal prosecutors say the two men ignored signed agreements and basic ethics when they invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in companies affected by the advice they were giving. The Harvard institute had received $40 million in federal funds to advise Russia on privatization, capital markets and legal reform. http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2002/06/28/031.html
