Harvard’s commissioned report on how to improve its Anatomical Gifts Program that is at the heart of an alleged national human body parts trafficking ring has drawn more flack from plaintiffs in the lawsuit over the grisly ordeal.

The university on Thursday released a summary report with 19 pages of substantive content in which a panel of three experts made a series of recommendations from operating procedure, enhanced bookkeeping and more robust security protocols. As the introduction to the report noted, they were working under directions not to look into the specifics of the alleged criminal matter but just how to fix the program itself.

The lead attorney, Kathryn Barnett, in the class-action suit lodged against the university in Suffolk Superior Court expressed dissatisfaction when she spoke with the Herald Thursday, summarizing that “this entire situation is absolutely devastating for the families involved and they want some answers,” which she said the report didn’t include.

On Friday, attorneys released a statement reiterating that response, saying the report “from a hand-picked expert panel is very disappointing to families impacted by the Harvard morgue scandal.” The statement concluded that the recommendations were “a list of no-nonsense, commonsense protections that Harvard could have and should have implemented from the outset, basic measures that every family had every right to expect.”

“How, why, and for how long did Harvard fail to protect, respect, and treat with dignity the loved ones entrusted to it?” the statement reads. “The impacted families remain in the dark as to how the school could expose their loved ones’ remains to such a macabre spectacle of desecration and inhumanity – when the bodies had been entrusted to Harvard for such an altruistic and honorable purpose.”

Harvard has repeatedly told the Herald that it does not comment on pending litigation. A statement from the university’s provost and the medical faculty dean included with Thursday’s report read, “We reaffirm our deep sorrow for the continued uncertainty and distress that families face as the criminal proceedings continue.”
