...Harvard has received $500,000 from alumnae that it plans to hold in escrow until the University has tenured an acceptable number of women--specifically, the standpoint set by the University report of 1970. And the senior class has established the Alternative Senior Gift Fund with the same criterion for its release...
...staff's endorsement of an affirmative action policy is their most misguided step. They seem willing to sacrifice the quality of this University in order to combat a prejudice that does not exist. A candidate's merit should be Harvard's only criterion for hiring.

When cholesterol tests became a key criterion, HMOs scrambled to offer the tests--often with no follow-up on the patients' results. Most experts agree that it is much more useful for a patient to know the breast-cancer survival rate in a given plan than to know whether it offers free mammograms...
