...director of the Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group at the Kennedy School. “The Shell gift is just the first. It’s intended to be a broader initiative,” Gallagher said. The Shell announcement also coincides with a University effort to expand cross-school programs in the social sciences. Sponsorship by oil companies has aroused controversy at schools such as the University of California, Berkeley over whether the gifts might bias research. Hogan said the Shell gift would avoid that issue because much of Harvard’s funding in this area comes...

Skelos has compared the image of the noose to that of a swastika or a burning cross. But his examples prove our point: banning an image doesn’t extinguish the hatred behind it. Germany banned the swastika in 1945, yet neo-Nazis still fester in the far-right National Democratic Party. And we highly doubt that banning burning crosses would kill the Ku Klux Klan. Rather...
