...past few weeks, we, as Harvard College representatives to the Presidential Search, have fielded many questions about whether Drew Faust is the “right choice” for the Harvard presidency. In response, we first admit that we do not—and indeed cannot—possibly know the answer until Faust has had the chance to reveal her priorities through action.
