...line with those of our peer institutions. This academic year, Harvard paid its full professors an average of $192,600, according to the American Association of University Professors. By contrast, Stanford paid its professors $181,900, Princeton paid $180,300, and Yale paid $174,700. Asking our professors to accept the same salaries as their counterparts at Stanford seems fair, especially considering that, just two years ago, the average salary at Harvard was $177,400. The faculty has about 450 full professors, and paying at Stanford levels would save about $10,000 per head, a total savings of about...

Ching Cheong, a Hong Kong-based writer who was imprisoned by Chinese authorities for almost three years for espionage, put this in rather blunt terms at the book event. "[China does] not dare to face its history," he says...
...deserves attention now, and thus Obama’s announcement comes at the exact right time. Immigration law is in dire need of a total policy overhaul. With conservative estimates of 12 million people living illegally within our borders, American society faces several problems. These illegal laborers tend to accept lower wages and zero benefits and are often reluctant to report abuse or maltreatment—each contributing to the propagation of social ills. In addition, the federal government is losing billions in potential tax revenue from these workers. The solution, according to the president, would be to offer...
