...acceptance speech, Wilson indicated that she gives high priority to Radcliffe's continuing evolution as a research institution for women's scholarship and to issues of women in science. However, she did not specify the role she sees for Radcliffe in oversight of the position of women at Harvard. Thus far, she seems to echo Horner's priorities, and thus Horner's shortcomings.
