...longer see Harvard as the light at the end of the tunnel. As a result of the economic downturn, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences has cut its number of faculty searches from 50 to 21. We understand that in this difficult financial climate sacrifices need to be made. Nevertheless, impeding the College’s flow of intellectual resources is an unwise compromise...
