...Nepal with well over $2 billion, but Shah remains highly critical of the uses that money has been put toward--in particular, of what he considers idealistic attempts to transform native institutions into prototypes of American ones. "Why should we give up our traditions to come up to some criteria which you have set for us?" he complains. "It is industrialized nations who are setting these criteria--$1000 per capita income, T.V. sets, cars, If we were to define the criteria of your development, we would use different indexes: pollution, ecological hazards, abortion, debts, extramarital...

When they look at Chile and call it underdeveloped, obviously a value-judgement is being made. According to Western standards of development, Chile is underdeveloped.

...there were many left-wing appointments he could turn to as examples of the University's open-minded, non-political approach to academic appointments.

The department's decision to deny promotion to Mary Nolan is an example...
...faculty and the administration to undergraduate education must be called into question, despite the implementation of the Core Curriculum, when professors such as Kate Auspitz, Peter Stanley, and Mary Nolan are so easily dismissed. When scholarship, teaching,and necessary, interesting course offerings combine to help a candidate meet all criteria for promotion or tenure, whatever the case may be, one wonders why it is not granted. Last year students protested the decision not to keep Kate Auspitz of Social Studies at Harvard in some capacity, either in another department or in an administrative position (committees such as Social Studies cannot...
