...Harvard doing anything to increase the pool? The Mellon Foundation has given Harvard $350,000 to set up a program of research opportunities in which Black, Hispanic, and Native American students would work with faculty members in their fields of study. The goal is to encourage them to attend graduate school and eventually become professors. Then why hasn't Harvard actually done anything to implement this program...
Columbia University has initiated a $25 million fellowship program to provide research internships for minority undergraduates and to fund their graduate studies. Columbia has also adopted a loan forgiveness program, under which minority students will find it less costly to go on to graduate school. Why isn't Harvard doing anything like that...

The apparent losses were discovered when customers complained of discrepancies between the amount of tritium ostensibly exported and the amount that was actually received...
