Regardless of differences between Summers and Rudenstine’s administrative styles, Knowles and Summers say they have gotten along this year.
What limited criticism of Knowles that did exist typically resulted from decision he made without broad consultation, such as his top-down restructuring of the linguistics department in the first years of his term and the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies last academic year.
Knowles stayed in his post one year longer than Rudenstine remained in his, placing him under the leadership of Summers—a much more assertive figure than his predecessor.
One long-time administrator says that a dean of the Faculty under Summers is less likely to have the degree of autonomy Knowles had under Rudenstine.
This past year, students and faculty met with Summers and Knowles, seeking increased resources for identity-based intellectual fields such as Latino studies and queer studies.
