Levin. Levin faced protests from graduate students on his campus last February for not condemning Summers’ remarks...
Moreover, the California Institute of Technology, Stanford’s principal private West Coast competitor, “has almost no black students whatsoever,” Slater said. CalTech??s Class of 2007 has zero black members, he said...
