...less about what Fox does than they do about Bok or Rosovsky, who are even more removed from College life. This is understandable because Fox has no responsibility for curriculum issues and only supervises the administration of the College with his team of assistant deans. But don't be mistaken.

...team, almost literally you could have knocked me over with a feather. In my view, the Harvard community is one where academic freedom includes neither the right to burn the American flag, nor the right to burn in effigy any of Percy Haughton's Crew, regardless of occasional mistaken aloofness.
