...University and push for recruitment of women and minorities. The office’s website encourages schools within the University to submit applications for pilot funds that aim to “improve Harvard’s performance in developing scholars at all stages of the academic career ladder.” Jonathan Colburn, communications coordinator for the FD&D, notes that the fund is intended to promote the development of all faculty, regardless of previous representation. “Certainly all manner of faculty have applied for our pilot programs,” he says...

There is no romance in death by lapse of concentration - especially not in a man whose defining artistic...

He has taken the passions that were stirred in him by the poverty tour and moved them up the economic ladder. Rallying people to help the have-nots has given way to rallying people to help themselves. That's smart-but not especially transformational-politics...
