The civil trial of a former academic journal editor who claimed Harvard unfairly fired her because of a mental disability ended in a mistrial on Dec. 3, University Attorney Allan A. Ryan Jr. said yesterday.
As first-years stand in their doorways, he tells them how he plans to improve academic advising and student group funding.
Margaret B. Alexiou is happy with the fact that Harvard gets money from different places. After all, she points out, as Seferis Chair of Modern Greek she holds a chair entirely funded by Greek monies, including academic foundations.
It is up to academic institutions like Harvard to ensure that political concerns do not clash with intellectual goals, Alexiou says.
"They are doing a lot to get things moving. It's not just where you would expect it--in African-American Studies--it's in traditional academic departments," he told the Daily Cal.
