<p>There was no such suggestion. The actual suggestion was that, relative to other schools, CRLS’ alumni at Harvard are uniquely positioned to have an elevated chance of a connection to problematic locals (or creating a connection between such and the college population). Somebody from Freebase Central High School in some other city is not going to have a stable of local associates. With CRLS, given the number of its Harvard attendees and the number and flavor of the local connections they may have, it is far likelier to have a matriculant who knows someone in the area with a rap sheet, or dates them, or lets them into a Harvard dormitory. Several of those alternatives appear to be true in this case from the existing reports. </p>
<p>Note that “far likelier” than a small probability is still a relatively small probability. Added up over the years and over the large number of students, the chances do accumulate that from time to time there will be some actual problem.</p>
