...Associate Dean of the College Jeffrey Wolcowitz, the College released the Harvard College Curricular Review (HCCR) report. Among its recommendations were calls to do away with the Core in favor of distribution requirements, a new brand of courses, the Harvard College Courses, a push for students to study abroad, improved advising and science education and delay the concentration decision until the middle of sophomore year.

Those CEOs got an average 46% raise, to $10.4 million, while CEO compensation at a broader swath of companies averaged a 9% jump, to $8.1 million, suggesting that CEOs personally benefit when companies hire cheaper workers abroad. "It's a flashy finding," says Paul Oyer, associate professor of economics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. "But these are two separate issues, and there's no reason to think they're related." In fact, a 1998 study by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign economist Kevin Hallock, published...
