...reported refusal of the Yale Corporation's offer of that school's presidency. What remains is a sense of accomplishment, perhaps, and certainly a determination to finish the task he set up for himself when he began pushing for implementation of the Core--work of a different kind, less political and more educational, "less spectacular, but far more important" work. "In a way it's quieter work, and may be more satisfying," he says. Before embarking on the long road toward implementation of the Core, Rosovsky offered some observations on the prolonged debate that led to the first major reform...
Rosovsky concedes, however, that those students who only looked at the Core superficially would understandably come away less than satisfied. College, he says, is a part of a maturing process, a time when students learn to make choices for themselves. "They want to maximize that ability" to make choices, he concedes; even though, in his mind, "the restraints imposed by the Core are quite minimal," he says he understands why the program would appear at first blush to be a considerable restriction on students' range of decision-making. In fact, he adds that if he were an undergraduate today...
...guidelines are, as he maintains, the key to the Core program. For when the Faculty voted last month, it voted less on the five specific Core areas outlined in the Core report, and more on the educational philosophy set forth in the accompanying course descriptions and standards for assessment. And now, with the debate on that philosophy ended, the key phase of Core development will come as he settles down to the task of translating those detailed guidelines into about 80 or 100 Core courses. The first step in that process will come sometime this summer, when he appoints members...
...Rosovsky has puzzled observers interested in his plans for life after University Hall. Some sources speculated that Rosovsky turned down the reported Yale offer because he was unwilling to abandon his direction of Harvard's own reforms; others concluded that he was holding out for an offer from a less financially troubled school, perhaps even Harvard, if President Bok lives up to his previous pledge to spend less than ten years as president. Yet Rosovsky has never publicly commented on the Yale offer, either to confirm or deny it, and he is similarly tight-lipped about any speculation...
Although jobs in academic institutions are generally less lucrative than industrial or corporate employment, Gibson decided she'd prefer to work on a campus. When she arrived in Boston, she applied for jobs at seven schools in the area, and soon found work at Widener Library. After about 18 months there, she felt she had learned all she could from that jobs and began looking around for something else, preferably a post than would give her a little more contact with College life...
