At the same party the next year, Bossert, Riley and several HUPD officers situated themselves at the gates of the club.
"It's not Harvard's problem until you piss off a Harvard administrator," Favreaux says.
But the Bossert-story was only the public version of events.
The department stepped up its presence at the club's party for another reason: the previous year, a party-goer followed a first-year student home and attempted a sexual assault.
Then-Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III wrote a letter to the clubs castigating their behavior--and requested that HUPD patrol the same party next year.
At the party the next year, the Cambridge Police Department asked for an officer to check IDs at the door. Since the party was populated by Harvard students, Cambridge patrol sergeants asked HUPD to provide officers of its own, department sources say. But they could not have done so without Epps's approval.
