[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite this reporting by the Harvard newspaper he still showed up to teach. What a tool.  How embarrassing. How outrageous kids are paying for this. [/quote]

He showed up to class Tuesday and gave the statement that was posted to X by a student. He resigned Wednesday.

Class meets again this morning and he will not be there. His co-teacher Dr. Lawrence will teach the class.

My son is in the class. I only know what he tells me, which isn’t much. He’s enjoyed the course, they’ve had some awesome guests including Sam Altman, Oren Cass, Jake Sullivan. Tony Blair was supposed to guest lecture in the coming weeks; not sure if that will happen. [/quote]

This is the education you get at Harvard: the former university president is trading dating advice with the ringleader of a child sex trafficker and teaching his class with ridiculous VIP "guest lecturers."  What a joke. Claudine Gay may have been a deeply underwhelming intellectual and plaigirist but Summers is a hundred thousand times worse.[/quote]

Agree with you about the VIP guest lecturers. If not cohesively integrated into the course design, what is the point? Other than superficial gloss and Summers himself not having to teach many classes.[/quote]

It’s a class on Globalization and my son has really enjoyed it. Great debates, broad ideas on policy and procedure from those who have/had great influence. It’s fun to hear them debate and admit they’ve been wrong. Also when their view differed from their boss (aka the president).

Not glossing over anything having to do with Summers but the course itself has been worthwhile. [/quote]

Its a pity that our best minds are taught by people like Summers. Maybe you think your kid is being molded by some great minds but Altman and Summers are two people I deeply despise. [/quote]
