The Harvard-Radcliffe Southern Africa Solidarity Committee (SASC) was a student anti-apartheid organization at Harvard University and Radcliffe College. SASC initially adopted the goal of getting Harvard to take a public stand favoring U.S. corporate withdrawal from South Africa and for ending all bank loans to that country. SASC campaigned to get Harvard and Radcliffe to divest from companies doing business in South Africa. [Note: the organization with the name Southern Africa Solidarity Committee which became the Boston Coalition for the Liberation of Southern Africa (BCLSA) - see description - was a different organization.] (Source: David Goodman, a former member of SASC; SASC material on this website;
