...Perhaps the most widely criticized flaw in Harvard’s tenure system is the obvious lack of diversity among tenured professors, particularly with regard to gender. This became a more urgent issue when the percentage of full professorships offered to women dipped from 19 percent in the ’02-’03 term to 13 percent in ’03-’04 school year...
...undergraduates—one-sixth of the student body—whose families made $60,000 or less. Among them were 135 students whose family incomes were below $10,000.

He called the vote in parliament a "violation...
...world leadership responsibly. And we need that from the U.S. But there also needs to be a spirit of multilateralism in the hemisphere for once. I don't know if the U.S. and Chavez require an interlocutor; but the only advice I can give is to engage countries with regard for their popular sovereignty. When you look at Chavez and Lula and Bolivian President Evo Morales, an Aymara Indian, you realize that perhaps for the first time in [Latin America's] history, those who govern actually look like those being governed...
