Although the activists of yesteryear may have found a temporary stronghold in the universities, a new generation of students has had its fill of radicalism. Sobered by the heavy financial burdens most of their families have to bear for their schooling, they want an education solid enough to warrant the investment. Chastened by the fall-out of the sexual revolution and the breakdown of the family, they are wary of human experiments that destabilize society even further. Alert to the war that is being waged against America, they feel responsible for its defense even when they may not agree with the policies of the current administration. If the students I have come to know at Harvard are at all representative, a new moral seriousness prevails on campus, one that has yet to affect the faculty members because it does not yet know how to marshal its powers.

Back in 1991, he suggested the people in Africa should eat pollution. During his first few years as Harvard's President, he ferociously waged battle with Harvard's Afro-American Studies department. As for Harvard...BusinessWeek reported on the school's Bad Boy Behavior towards women MBA students in 1998. A 1989 Harvard Business Review article once notably proferred this hypothesis from Summer: "the cost of employing women in management is greater than the cost of employing men" - sparking the "mommy track" debate. Harvard - a university where a professor was sanctioned for falsifying research about the psychological effects of race and sex discrimination. Harvard - a university where professors the likes of Dr. Harvey Mansfield have suggested that Harvard's academic standards have declined as a result of aggressive affirmative action admissions policies (i.e., Dr. Mansfield believed grade inflation was the scandalous result of admitting "too many minority students"). And Harvard Professor of Law Alan Dershowitz, who you quote in your post? He is a tireless apologist for the porn industry who pretends to be a friend of women's rights. Such a shame.
