...certain that the incident, and those that preceded it, will be so quickly closed. At the very least, Nesson’s somewhat loose take on procedural rules has raised questions about how well the professor’s academic penchant for idealism has weathered the transition from the classroom to the more rules-based climate of civil litigation, and—more particularly—whether his fascination with openness is coming at the expense of Tenenbaum, his client. “Number one rule of litigation: don’t piss of the judge,” copyright...

Yes, Harvard must do what it does best—teach, research and foster learning—but we cannot shy away from the responsibility to be an upstanding institution. If Harvard lays off its workers, it will only contribute to the economic crisis of our time. Now, more than ever, is an opportunity for Harvard to stand as an example of moral integrity...
