Trickle Down: Alan Dershowitz on the coup against Harvard President Larry Summers:

...Harvard will survive this. I'm more worried about the contageous effect this could have on somewhat smaller colleges, which don't have the same pull and attraction.

Lawrence Krauss, a professor of physics at Ohio's Case Western Reserve University a "somewhat smaller college" than Harvard that considers itself the Harvard of the Midwest (don't they all?):

A high-profile professor at Case Western Reserve University has put the wheels in motion for a no-confidence vote against university President Dr. Edward Hundert and Provost John Anderson.

Lawrence Krauss, an internationally recognized physicist and author, sent an e-mail to arts and sciences faculty members on Wednesday to gauge support for taking a vote.

...Krauss said he was also emboldened by the Tuesday resignation of Harvard University President Lawrence Summers when he was confronted with a no-confidence vote by faculty.


That certainly didn't take long.

    The PC warriors seem to enjoy unchallenged power in US Universities.

    Which is why I was glad to read your next post where you move away from race-based medicine. Pheeww! Watch your pen, the PC gestapo is reading!
