[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an alum and I have started giving to Harvard again.

From the perspective of an outside, unconnected person, this seems like a time when Harvard can actually show the leadership that its brand automatically connotes. I'm more used to hearing things about Harvard that are negatives.  Like Larry Summers mouthing off about women.

I like to see institutions prove their value and not coast on wealth and history.

Every major institution in American life can be criticized for racism, sexism, political missteps, etc.  But retrospectively, one can tell that there are moments in history where institutions truly lead.

I believe t5his is such a moment for Harvard.

I wouldn't care if it looks messy on the ground.  Even if I were a student and had to live through the messiness.[/quote]

Larry Summers was at MIT before Harvard and a bunch of us at MIT called very loudly for his removal  for his women-are-lesser comments and he was removed![/quote]

PP.  Good for you and thank you for holding powerful people accountable![/quote]
