...Harvard Medical School professor filed a lawsuit Friday charging the president and the chief of surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center—one of Harvard’s main affiliated hospitals—with gender discrimination, saying she endured years of sexist treatment which culminated with her demotion. Carol A. Warfield is seeking recovery for the “loss of her career, her income, her reputation, and all of the consequential damages that flow from these injuries,” according to the complaint filed at the Suffolk County Courthouse.

...Harvard University Women in Business (HUWIB) may be disparaged as sexist by some on campus.

Because women’s clubs often hold their parties and punch events in male clubs, even members of female final clubs find themselves relying on their male counterparts for a good time. Essentially, the nature of final clubs in the Harvard landscape remains profoundly sexist. It is a problem that few of our institutional peers share: Yale’s secret societies and Princeton’s eating clubs are now co-ed. The situation at Harvard marks a terrible and regressive tune in an academic institution that otherwise strives for progressivism. Unfortunately, correcting this problem...
