...possible tactics, even Weatherman tactics, are only propaganda and organizing tools. None of them in itself impedes the war machine. They make the war too costly, and thus the war may end. but the war machine will remain intact. The criterion for judging an action should be, therefore, in terms of building a movement that will be able to destroy the machine itself. The criterion must be dependent upon how many of who never you want to see, to hear and to agree become catalyzed to move to the level of consciousness that the particular tactic embodies...
...Even the criterion on which to select a president was in question. Did Harvard need a man whom the faculties could embrace as a compatriot (many professors had sent letters critical of Pusey's inadequate credentials as a scholar)? Or did Harvard need a man who, though not a scholar, could be an administrator bringing external order and perspective to the ingrown tendencies of Harvard academia?

...number of women on the faculty should also increase, if the guidelines are followed. We are not, however, proposing a quota system; we regard it as perfectly compatible with our guidelines that in every particular case excellence and not sex (or race or age) should be the only criterion for academic employment. Nor do we expect even the immediate targets, fixed by the present percentages, to be reached in a year or two. Given the relatively small number of people hired each year at the senior level, progress will necessarily be more gradual, but it should be steady and consistent...
