Knowles says the report, "Harvard Women in the University Campaign," was never kept secret from Radcliffe. According to Knowles, the survey was discussed at a Faculty meeting and mentioned in his annual budget letter and in the Harvard Gazette.
But Wilson says the report, which was mailed with a cover letter from Knowles, was never discussed with her.
But many Radcliffe graduates say Knowles ignored what they have already contributed to the University and overlooked the needs of Radcliffe, which is trying to complete its own campaign.
Most significantly, twelve alumnae delivered a letter to Knowles and President Neil L. Rudenstine on May 13 criticizing Knowles for not consulting them or Radcliffe President Linda S. Wilson before sending the report.
Susan S. Lyman '49 is the former chair of Radcliffe's Board of Trustees and former acting dean of the Bunting Institute, the College's multidisciplinary center of advanced studies for women. She says Knowles' letter shows that Harvard is "still a bastion of male superiority."
