...writers of the report on the HCCR understood that their touted internationalization comes with a price tag. They suggested that “the [Faculty of Arts and Sciences] expand its allocation of financial support, including summer grants, salaries, stipends and loans, in order to make it possible for all students to pursue at least one international experience.” Without money, there can be no staff support for students when they are at Harvard—current staff at OIP and the area studies centers are already overburdened—and no financial support once they are abroad...
...jails without charge or trial, a situation human-rights activists have dubbed "Britain's Guantánamo."

Yet the government needs to pacify the Baluch warriors. It has plans to expand gas exploration, allow a pipeline to run across Baluchistan from Iran to India, and, with Chinese help, it is building a multimillion dollar port at Gwadar?all of which incenses the Baluch tribesmen who are worried that, once again, they will be cut out of the profits...
While Faust said the soon-to-be-unveiled presidential initiative to bolster the role of women at Harvard will seek to address the drop in female tenure offers, she added that the initiative will also look to encourage female achievement starting with undergraduates. “We need to expand pipelines in order to make sure that there are substantial numbers of women in pools so that we can do this kind of hiring,” she said...
