...Judge Posner would be a disaster as dean of Harvard Law School,” one HLS professor says. “He is a lightning rod. The only good thing that would come out of him being dean would be that it would get him out of the court, and he would do less damage as a dean than as a judge...
...words are more likely to get the Bush Administration's attention than "quota." So last June, U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige appointed a 15-member Commission on Opportunity in Athletics to consider changes to Title IX.

They're certainly compelling enough to have a shot. The bright...
Last week Washington tried to make peace. Following inquiries from TIME to discuss the issue, Education Secretary Rod Paige called Christensen to see if he could personally visit the state and "work together" on a solution.

If the Administration accepts the plan, other states may begin agitating for special treatment and the law could lose its federal force. --By Jodie Morse and Maggie Sieger
