...curious to hear the associate provost of Harvard University downplay the reach and significance of his administrative position. It is odd to witness the director of the Program in Ethics and the Professions depreciate the importance of fundamental norms of fair process.

Conservatives on campus are fortunate to have an outspoken ally in Prof. Mansfield. As one of the lone voices of conservatism at Harvard, he should be congratulated. JEFF LETALIEN...
