...Smith, who was named Dean of the Faculty Monday, faces quite a challenge in uniting and inspiring the Faculty.The main business of the year for the full Faculty was to complete the Curricular Review, which was limping into its fifth year. One would expect that an opportunity to reinvent the meaning of a liberal education would draw Harvard’s academics out in droves. Yet anemic attendance at Faculty meetings—when the Faculty bothered to have them at all—served as depressing indicators of Faculty apathy. Unsurprisingly, the Curricular Review largely fell flat.
