...pieces in collection are displayed in galleries. Given the limited space, significant structural constraints have also led to the exclusion of Native American, Latin American, and Oceanic art collections. The Fogg is the only museum out of Harvard’s three that is not devoted to a specific region, while the Busch-Reisinger houses Northern and Central European art and the Sackler houses Islamic and Asian art. Despite this regional freedom, however, the Fogg is still limited by various space constraints and endowments that come with stipulations.

As it stands, an independent Kosovo could create broad reactionary backlash in Belgrade and more enmity in the Balkans—the last thing that region needs. On the other hand, its current status is untenable. Kosovars have endured too much from resentful Serbs and have earned a right to self-determination. Further entanglement will only worsen the problem. It seems, then, that there can be no mutually acceptable solution as long as independence remains the fundamental...
