...first out” pecking order, handles layoffs by first eliminating the newest teachers from classrooms. Joel I. Klein, chancellor of New York City’s school system—which could potentially layoff as many as 8,500 people this year because of a loss in state aid??has criticized the use of seniority as the sole metric by which teachers are laid off. The argument put forth by Klein and others is that the merit-blind seniority clause does not ensure that the teachers who remain in school systems are necessarily the most effective...

By licensing Harvard Yard, the university is doing what it can to support financial aid??which runs directly counter to the “elitism” the clothing line’s critics denounce.

While pulling back on financial aid??just as Smith’s predecessor, the late Jeremy R. Knowles, did during an earlier fiscal crisis—would generate bad press, doing so is necessary and, ultimately, fair. Such a reduction should be confined to the newest aid initiative—the one that benefits those families earning up to $180,000—and not the previous programs for those earning less than...
