This is a brief note to those who read on various newsgroups of the rescinding of
Mikhail Zeleny's computer account in the Mathematics Department at Harvard
University.  

There seems to be a misapprehension that this action had something to do with Mr.
Zeleny's activities on various newsgroups.  The action has been taken purely on the
basis of Mr. Zeleny's use of departmental resources, coupled with his dropping of
mathematics as major or minor.  There are computer resources available to all
undergraduates at Harvard, and these continue to be available to Mr. Zeleny.  The
mathematics department, on the other hand, has separate computing resources,
consisting of a small number of Sun workstations, for research purposes.  These
are made available to members of the department including undergraduate mathematics
majors doing research under the direction of a faculty member.  Mr. Zeleny no longer
qualifies for such an account.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
