When a student at Harvard University had her picture identification card either
lost or stolen, she quickly reported it to the proper authorities. But within days,
the card, by then deactivated, was being used in a vain attempt to open doors across
campus.
Each attempt to enter a restricted area was noted immediately through the access
control system monitored by the Harvard University Police (HUP). HUP officers monitored
the events and moved quickly on yet another failed entry attempt. The person responsible
was apprehended and the card confiscated.
All students, faculty, staff and alumni are expected to carry university-issued
photo identification badges. In addition to allowing access to appropriate buildings,
the cards also are used for library, food services, recreational and various other
purposes.
