Hmmm...
Well, James has already mentioned this, but I will, too. Harvard is putting some woman in the presidency. James mentioned how this person is a history professor, rather than a mathy/sciency type. NOW knows when to not back down:
"And it has only taken them 371 years," said Kim Gandy, president of National Organization for Women. "Larry Summers, we couldn't have done it without you." An interesting point of view. The implication seems to be that Drew Gilpin Faust was not hired on account of qualifications or anything, but as part of a PC backlash against Larry Summers. I guess NOW was trying to gloat as women are genetically predisposed to do, and since she didn't think (on account of being a woman), she just provided even more ammunition to those who might question the ability of women to serve in such roles.
Also, from that Crimson article James quoted:
In a statement last night, University spokesman John D. Longbrake declined to comment.
