BOSTON (AP) - Harvard University has agreed to pay $26.5 million to settle a civil complaint about investments a professor and a former staff member made while working on a federal contract to help privatize Russia's post-Soviet economy, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The agreement also calls for economics professor Andrei Shleifer and former Harvard project manager Jonathan Hay to each pay up to $2 million.
Shleifer, who remains on Harvard's faculty, and Hay, a Harvard law school graduate now working as a lawyer in London, were top officials at the law reform project of the now-defunct Harvard Institute for International Development.
