Hardball at Harvard
Today on Minding the Campus, Harvard Board of Overseers petition candidate Harvey A. Silverglate has an incisive piece on recent developments in his campaign and that of fellow petition candidate Robert L. Freedman. In addition to obviously being of interest to Harvard alumni, his op-ed is one of which all trustees should take note. Indeed, the issue he raises -- preferential access to the alumni base granted exclusively to those who support the status quo -- is one reformers have also confronted at Dartmouth, Hamilton, and elsewhere.
Reflecting on some of the events summarized by Silverglate, Sunday's Boston Globe pronounced, "Perhaps MIT and BU should send election observers to Harvard, just to be sure." Ouch.
