Unfortunately, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the College follow this precedent and turn a deaf ear to student input in important matters. At Harvard junior faculty are granted tenure based on the recommendations first of their colleagues ad then of a board of outside experts before going to Bok and the Corporation for approval. Students have no real voice in this process, nor do they have a precise idea of how it works. Professors evidently believe that students do not have the capability to accurately judge scholarly merits and would be susceptible to turning the tenure review process...
...meet only his own standards of excellence. Russell told his daughter that he never heard the boos of the crowd because he never heard the cheers -- no easy feat in an age pumped up by windbags and Kirkus Reviews. Your commencement speaker hopes that you will turn a deaf ear to empty praise as much as to careless blame, that you will scare yourself with your own severity...
...Jacket is not a realistic film -- it is horror-comic superrealism, from a God's-eye view -- but it should fully engage the ordinary movie grunt. The boot-camp sequence begins as high farce, with the D.I. taunting his recruits in arias of obscenity that tickle and singe the ear. Kubrick's majestic camera tracks across the barracks, it ascends obstacle courses, it glides past the soldiers, then abruptly cuts to close-ups, to study their pain head on. Their faces are fists clenched in rage and fear; they know that farce is about to replay itself as tragedy...
...flurry of proposals dramatizes the renewed clout of organized labor in the corridors of Congress. Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, a West Virginia Democrat, is more receptive when labor buzzes in his ear than was his predecessor, Republican Robert Dole of Kansas. Massachusetts Democrat Edward Kennedy, an avid defender of workers, has replaced the decidedly less sympathetic Utah Republican Orrin Hatch as chairman of the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee. Democrats who are friendly to or received campaign money from the labor movement are in positions to help along the bulk of the business-related legislation. Boasts...
Zeckhauser calls this current stage of expansion a "consolidation phase" in which HRE is "keeping [its] ear to the ground" in the hopes of acquiring more property holdings in Harvard Square. In Zeckhauser's words, Harvard is "landbanking" property for the future--that is, depositing large parcels of commercial property into its real estate portfolio. Landbanked properties are used either as investments or for future academic purposes. Last year, the University acquired several landbanked properties, including The Architects Collaborative Office Building and the O'Brien Family Properties...
