...news of academic sanctions levied against those who supported the visiting poet Tom Paulin. We have not read The Crimson’s repeated exposés of junior faculty denied tenure for their political speech. (Except, perhaps, for Peter Berkowitz.) Including the case of former Fletcher University Professor Cornel R. West ’74, we have not even seen public criticism by the President’s office of any member of the Faculty for political positions. In fact, the only person we’ve seen threatened with losing his job is Larry Summers...
...similar concerns about planning for Harvard’s expansion into Allston, a series of small blunders alienated one section of the Faculty at a time—first the highly visible African American Studies Department after the departure of Cornel R. West ’74, then humanities professors as he pushed for increased and improved hard science education at the College, now female professors.

Faculty members who have been ill at ease on issues ranging from Summers’ management of the University’s expansion into Allston to the president’s role in the noisy departure of former Fletcher University Professor Cornel R. West ’74 are now rallying around a common issue and voicing their complaints collectively...
