...Crimson’s only second-teamer named yesterday. Harvard’s honorable mentions went to senior wide receiver Ryan Tyler, senior tight end Kelly Widman, and junior linebacker Ryan Tully, along with three sophomores: quarterback Liam O’Hagan, defensive end Brad Bagdis, and safety Doug Hewlett. Brown’s Nick Hartigan, who led the nation in rushing and propelled the Bears to their first outright Ivy title, was named the unanimous Ivy Player of the Year. Six other Brown players were named to the first team. Yale tailback Mike McLeod was named Rookie...

But for the most part, they keep their complaints from employers, who, although attuned to their minority and female constituents, remain largely in the dark about those who happen to be both.

According to the study, 42% of minority women executives at large companies feel they're expected to look, sound and act like white men; 34% of minority men and 29% of white women feel that way. The study calls that pressure "style compliance"; to Hewlett, it's "bleached-out professionalism." African-American women struggle most with perceptions of their behavior; 30% feel they are seen as "troublemakers." Jennifer Braxton, 31, held a communications job at a prestigious Philadelphia think tank. But her exuberant manner at meetings took her white male bosses aback. Other minorities...
