The question of which organization is really America's Team was taken up by Paul Gigot in the Wall Street Journal in response to a piece written by Fred Barnes in the Weekly Standard.

Yet they earn far less than market value. We support the status quo, where Harvard is free to pay managers less than a profit-driven institution would, but enough to attract talent like El-Erian. As a final benefit, we are pleased to note that El-Erian will be teaching at HBS starting next year. This opportunity to teach capitalizes upon...
