Harvard alumnus Thomas G. Stemberg, co-founder of Staples, Inc., has written a strongly worded letter to President Drew G. Faust condemning university officials for their handling of last semester’s cheating scandal and calling their approach “Orwellian.”

Harvard College officials recently announced that they have issued verdicts to the approximately 125 students who were accused of cheating on their “Intro to Congress” final this past spring, and will announce the results of the investigation at the beginning of the upcoming semester.
