...Wong's elaborate creations in satin and fine wool strike you as theatrical, that's no coincidence. He was born in Hong Kong to an opera singer mother, and studied costume design in Canada. Wong also picked up a design degree in Japan and, displaying a prodigious appetite for academia, returned to his birthplace to earn another degree, this time in drama. Wong emigrated to Australia in 1997, enrolling in a fashion design course at an East Sydney college. But this time, further studies were superfluous - his teacher thought him so talented (and over-qualified) that she advised...
...like the McCarthy-era journalists in a way. She's just repeating what they said, that the only patriotic Americans are on the right." Radosh, a fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute, a Washington think tank, also says Coulter has exaggerated his own troubles as a conservative in academia.

As a woman university student, I am continually saddened by the negative attitudes that persist in academia about women's aptitude in these fields. As suggested by your article, the educational system-not biology-is to blame for any discrepancy between the achievements of men and women. Given the right training and encouragement at an early age, women can, without a doubt, equal men in math, science and engineering-just as they have in other...
...Harvard currently has a villa in Italy and a laboratory in Chile (and a forest in New Zealand). More property would be better, as it would provide students with interesting housing and research opportunities across the world. This investment in international property should be matched by one in international academia. Harvard must not continue to pawn off students on other schools’ study abroad programs, even if it offers financial aid for them. Harvard must form its own partnerships with sister international schools. As it stands, the academic rigor of most study abroad programs available to Harvard students pales...
