...month after Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers stepped down, Case Western Reserve University president Edward M. Hundert announced his resignation last Thursday in the wake of a 131-44 no-confidence vote by the College of Arts and Sciences. The Case Western faculty criticized Hundert, who faced a $40 million budget deficit and lagging fundraising returns, for instituting budget cuts and sweeping academic reforms without their consultation and for having an allegedly secretive management style. Hundert said in his resignation letter that the continuing tension made it impossible for him to carry out planned university advancements. Even...

As their counterparts at Harvard did last year, the faculty of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio affirmed a no-confidence motion of their own against University President Edward M. Hundert on March 2. Physics professor Lawrence M. Krauss spearheaded the motion to protest Hundert’s alleged fiscal mismanagement in closing a $40 million budget shortfall.

Yuck, preppies. Beloved William Hundert (Kevin Kline) teaches classics at snooty St. Benedict's. He gets his toga into a twist over a brat named Sedgewick Bell (Emile Hirsch), a cheeky cheat in whom he somewhat mysteriously detects good stuff. The conventions of the genre usually dictate that the boy will ultimately reform. The considerable originality of The Emperor's Club (directed by Michael Hoffman) lies in the fact that the kid gets worse, not better, going on to sleazy dotcom millions and, of course, politics.
