...addition to sponsoring classes, the core group holds a number of poetry readings and seminars, sometimes with Chinmoy himself, who has come to Harvard the last eight years. This year the meditation group sponsored a 24-hour poetry reading in which 3500 of Chinmoy's poems were read aloud. Because the philosopher is also an avid athlete, the group sponsored a 347-mile continuous relay around campus earlier in the year to commemorate Harvard's 347th anniversary...

Rosovsky has also done much to perpetuate the flaws in Harvard's tenure process...
