...major cases of fraud at the Medical School have prompted concern, though Tosteson does not cite them in his letter. The first came in 1981, when an associate professor in a laboratory at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, John R. Darsee, admitted to fabricating data. An investigation resulted in the retraction of a series of reported findings in scientific journals. The recent disclosure of misconduct by a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Ellis Reinherz at the Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has lent a kind of scientific confirmation to the occurrence of fraud at Harvard...

Minority faculty members estimate that in the past six years, 43 per cent of their fellow lawyers have left the teaching profession altogether. They cite the increasing hostility from students and faculty--and the burnout from the excessive demands on their time--as probable reasons for their colleagues' departures...
